Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain phoenixwallet-desktopapp.live is a generic phishing operation with a high threat score of 75/100 and is currently live, actively serving traffic. It has been flagged as malicious by 3 out of 95 security vendors, including notable names like Fortinet and Netcraft, but remains unlisted on public blocklists and is not flagged by Google Safe Browsing. Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was created on June 18, 2026, and first seen on June 24, 2026. The hosting IP is 216.198.79.1, which may be associated with additional malicious activity. Given the high threat level, block the domain at the perimeter and report it to the registrar's abuse desk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-029CEB Favicon MD5: c071f2c833230876d5ba76fd731608da TLS cert SHA-256: 6ecd7989ab18e03682c43cdce0aed321a3cb71f24ba3c8bfbc9133395022caac ## 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/phoenixwallet-desktopapp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phoenixwallet-desktopapp.live 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.
