Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain optimalresolver-protocol.pages.dev engaging in a generic phishing campaign targeting users of DNS resolver services. The domain is currently active and under investigation by the PhishDestroy fraud detection network. This threat involves deceptive tactics to trick users into revealing sensitive credentials or installing malicious software under the guise of a legitimate resolver protocol. The domain optimalresolver-protocol.pages.dev exhibits multiple indicators of phishing activity. VirusTotal analysis shows this domain remains unflagged by any of 95 vendors, indicating a low detection rate despite its suspicious nature. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may lend an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Registered through Cloudflare, Inc., the domain has not yet been widely blocked, with no confirmed entries in major blocklists as of the latest intelligence. The combination of a trusted SSL issuer and a Cloudflare registration often obscures the true origin of such domains, complicating early detection efforts. While the current risk level is classified as 'under_investigation,' the lack of VirusTotal detections and absence from blocklists suggest this domain may be newly active or employing evasion techniques. Users and organizations are advised to block traffic to and from IP 188.114.96.3 and monitor DNS resolver protocol communications for irregularities. Immediate verification of any resolver protocol-related communications is critical, especially those originating from pages.dev subdomains. PhishDestroy recommends reporting this domain to threat intelligence platforms and updating firewall rules to mitigate potential exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f42231e95a10ad8a8329401332f218ad TLS cert SHA-256: 8bb13bdf651d529f26d4c08af3868d22f1cec228de87be13ff60108ef28729dd ## 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/optimalresolver-protocol.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=optimalresolver-protocol.pages.dev 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.
