No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 15:21:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-22 12:21:36 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-25 12:20:32 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db521-2788-72d9-895a-f34d9fdfc28f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/59d4dd22-6a09-414c-ad8b-b158b5027ff1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pharos-sale.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pharos-sale.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pharos-sale.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pharos-sale.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pharos-sale.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 15:23:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pharos-sale.com as an active crypto drainer impersonating the Pharos RealFi Access Program to steal cryptocurrency. This malicious site mimics legitimate DeFi platforms to trick visitors into connecting their wallets, allowing attackers to drain funds directly. Security tools like MetaMask and SEAL have already blocked access to this page, flagging it as a high-risk threat. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. pharos-sale.com was created on April 21, 2026, and operates with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which often lends false credibility to such scams. Its recent creation and active status make it a rapidly evolving threat to DeFi users seeking early access to programs like the Pharos RealFi Access Program. If you visited pharos-sale.com, immediately revoke any wallet connections using tools like Revoke.cash or your wallet’s built-in connection manager. Do not enter any credentials or connect your wallet to unfamiliar sites. Report the domain to your security provider and warn others in the community. Stay vigilant—always verify URLs and use trusted sources before engaging with DeFi platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-293502 Favicon MD5: e15a8b7fb1dbe8449a72a71bbe1e224a TLS cert SHA-256: af38c95b70599e92e7540baeaa3eb4ee3a909d14a864971c8b44faff6890a6f8 ## 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-sale.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pharos-sale.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.
