# PhishDestroy threat dossier — phantom-activate.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 21:56:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phantom-activate.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Phantom ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 216.24.57.1 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS397273 RENDER - Render, US Hosting org: AS397273 Render Registrar: IONOS SE Nameservers: ns1025.ui-dns.biz, ns1052.ui-dns.com, ns1061.ui-dns.de, ns1093.ui-dns.org Registered: 2026-06-21 Expires: 2027-06-21 Page title: Aetheris HTTP response: 402 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 33e015c2a655568e1e18639ca4408d809f8b3e666abd6f6793029d5acfbf8434 ## 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: 2026-06-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 21:34:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 19:36:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:16:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eebab-913c-761a-99af-3039a90d320e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/da723d16-17a7-4b23-bcd9-bccb5c8b07f5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/phantom-activate.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.phantom-activate.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=phantom-activate.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/phantom-activate.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/phantom-activate.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 22:59:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Phantom-activate.com, a domain designed to impersonate the Phantom wallet, was detected by PhishDestroy on the same day it was created, June 21, 2026. The site has been taken down, but it managed to flag the attention of 2 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors. It also appears on three public blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask and SEAL, indicating its malicious intent. The domain's registration through IONOS SE and hosting on IP address 216.24.57.1 in the US under ASN AS397273 Render, suggests a coordinated effort to deceive users. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, adds a layer of perceived legitimacy to the site, which could have been used to harvest sensitive information from unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy's early detection highlights the importance of rapid identification in the fight against phishing. The domain's platform risk score of 78/100 and an abuse score of 29/100 underscore its potential threat level. This case exemplifies how phishing sites exploit the brief window between domain registration and widespread detection by antivirus databases, emphasizing the need for proactive threat intelligence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-4932DD Favicon MD5: 4f016bb7433ef79d982f2c17ee622a13 TLS cert SHA-256: 33e015c2a655568e1e18639ca4408d809f8b3e666abd6f6793029d5acfbf8434 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phantom-activate.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phantom-activate.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
