perform-x.org — Squarespace-Hosted Phishing Domain Report

Analysis of perform-x.org indicates a recently established phishing domain registered on July 5, 2026, through Squarespace Domains II LLC. The domain currently resolves to IP address 198.49.23.144 and is associated with Squarespace Commerce and HSTS infrastructure, consistent with the registrar's hosting environment. The page title 'Próximamente' suggests a placeholder or under-construction status, though no specific brand or scam type is confirmed from available data. As of July 12, 2026, the domain appears on three security blocklists and is flagged in four AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating active malicious classification. Three of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common provider for both legitimate and malicious sites. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its recent registration, blocklist presence, and association with phishing infrastructure. Further investigation is recommended to determine the exact phishing campaign or target, as the current placeholder page does not reveal specific content or intent. Network-level blocking or monitoring of connections to 198.49.23.144 is advised until the domain is confirmed inactive or remediated.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      725f74368904e2f348657e1251cf03d00717e6e7addccfc3e8b664ef4b08b3b5

## 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 (operator 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.
