Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pep-coin.com as a low-risk phishing domain that has been taken offline. Phishing sites like this attempt to deceive users into revealing sensitive information such as passwords or financial data. Although the risk level is low, users should remain cautious to avoid potential scams. The phishing mechanism used by pep-coin.com involved impersonating legitimate services, likely to trick visitors into submitting personal details. Despite being flagged on two security blocklists and receiving minimal detection from VirusTotal, the domain was swiftly taken offline, limiting further exposure. If you have visited pep-coin.com, it is advisable to monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and avoid entering any personal information on similar domains. Running updated antivirus scans and changing passwords associated with any accounts you accessed recently can help reduce potential harm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: f70b45be7ac22538722561bfbca4c594514b0a4550f9b749d5236624cdbd08fe TLS cert SHA-256: a4df90c7a2bd74a5e378d9beec64c0d413b87127f75b44f874d04056662bcdb9 ## 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/pep-coin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pep-coin.com 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.
