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: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-28 01:11:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-03-28 01:39:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:40:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-28 12:49:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d3159-51f0-743c-badb-cc710c2b7cdf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/d681ab34-a56f-4876-b32a-12efeb6a3129 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/piraterewardpad.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.piraterewardpad.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=piraterewardpad.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/piraterewardpad.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/piraterewardpad.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-28 01:12:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies piraterewardpad.xyz as an active generic phishing domain designed to steal personal or financial information by impersonating reward or prize platforms. Visitors are typically lured with fake giveaways, surveys, or “unclaimed reward” notifications that prompt input of sensitive data such as credit card numbers, passwords, or social security details. Once entered, this information is harvested by attackers for fraud, identity theft, or sold on dark web markets. The site’s interface mimics legitimate reward sites, using convincing branding and fake countdown timers to pressure users into acting quickly. Avoid interacting with this domain entirely to prevent data compromise. This domain was flagged by one of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a high risk of malicious intent despite very low initial detection. The domain piraterewardpad.xyz was created on October 08, 2025, which is extremely recent and suggests opportunistic use of newly registered domains for phishing campaigns. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED using a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which attackers often use to appear legitimate and evade browser warnings. The combination of a fresh domain, low vendor detection, and hosted infrastructure points to an elevated threat level. If you visited piraterewardpad.xyz, avoid entering any personal or financial information. Immediately run a full antivirus scan on your device and consider changing passwords for any accounts you may have used on the site. Monitor your bank and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your local cybercrime unit or through platforms like Google Safe Browsing. Do not download any files or software promoted on the site. To prevent future exposure, block the domain at your network or DNS level and avoid clicking links from unsolicited emails or ads promising rewards. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260328-D0E17C ## 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/piraterewardpad.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=piraterewardpad.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.
