# PhishDestroy threat dossier — opencyops.co.za ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 11:09:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/opencyops.co.za/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, G-Data, Gridinsoft, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 169.239.218.70 (ZA, Johannesburg) ASN: AS327979 DIAMATRIX C.C Hosting org: DiaMatrix Teraco Registrar: DIAMATRIX C.C. Nameservers: ns1.tld-ns.net, ns2.tld-ns.com, ns3.tld-ns.net, ns4.tld-ns.com Registered: 2026-04-18 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: fed8b6a7bd982470800646b4b0bd61dbe7f0c29043092a3a95e4f6ffccdbe0bb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - autodiscover.opencyops.co.za - cpanel.opencyops.co.za - cpcalendars.opencyops.co.za - cpcontacts.opencyops.co.za - mail.opencyops.co.za - webdisk.opencyops.co.za - webmail.opencyops.co.za - www.opencyops.co.za ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 15:35:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-26 19:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-18 20:05:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019da095-1081-7127-a8c6-37f36d1ff9d4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/opencyops.co.za crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.opencyops.co.za Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=opencyops.co.za AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/opencyops.co.za URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/opencyops.co.za/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 15:36:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies opencyops.co.za as an active crypto drainer domain designed to trick visitors into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and approve malicious transactions. The site appears legitimate at first glance but is engineered to drain digital assets without the user’s knowledge once a wallet connection is made. Victims may see prompts requesting wallet permissions or fake “investment opportunities,” leading to irreversible fund losses. This domain was flagged by security researchers after being registered on October 22, 2025, through DIAMATRIX C.C. and resolving to IP 169.239.218.70. It currently evades detection on some systems but is blocked by 9 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and listed on 2 known phishing blocklists including OpenPhish and PhishingArmy. Its SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, adds a false sense of security, but the domain’s recent creation and high-risk classification confirm malicious intent. If you visited opencyops.co.za or entered any information, disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any suspicious permissions using your wallet’s security settings. Do not interact further with the site. Report the incident to your wallet provider and consider transferring remaining funds to a new wallet. Always verify unknown links using PhishDestroy before entering sensitive data or connecting wallets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9fb3db37ad749e284d496ec631e2dabb TLS cert SHA-256: fed8b6a7bd982470800646b4b0bd61dbe7f0c29043092a3a95e4f6ffccdbe0bb ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/opencyops.co.za/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=opencyops.co.za Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
