Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain pharos-presale.com as hosting an active crypto drainer campaign. The infrastructure is currently live and under active abuse by threat actors attempting to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. No brand impersonation has been confirmed at this time, though the landing page may falsely claim association with legitimate presale or investment platforms to deceive visitors. This domain bears several high-risk indicators: it was created on April 22, 2026, and currently resolves to IP 104.21.45.140. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, and PhishDestroy has detected zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for hosting high volumes of fraudulent domains. These factors combined create a high-risk profile for cryptocurrency theft via malicious smart contracts or wallet drainer scripts. Given the active status and lack of detection by major security vendors, PhishDestroy classifies this as a high-risk threat. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with any links related to pharos-presale.com, especially those promoting cryptocurrency investments or presales. If a site claims legitimacy, cross-verify domain ownership and SSL authenticity independently. PhishDestroy recommends blocking IP 104.21.45.140 and reporting the domain to your network administrator or security provider. Always verify investment platforms through official channels before engaging. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-E59C97 Favicon MD5: 411fa06a9f4d40b0eeaf2ee26d754cd5 TLS cert SHA-256: 515a8f585b10037f07f7671696ab7d5b634d0cd07dd0348f61badc25ba6626ad ## 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/pharos-presale.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pharos-presale.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.
