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/019c37f1-e64b-76cd-903e-4a0ae00d245e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7f3e3fc9-8e45-4c16-a1f7-636d240917c1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pikachucto.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pikachucto.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pikachucto.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pikachucto.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pikachucto.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:34:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above.

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/pikachucto.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pikachucto.xyz 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.
