# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pitaes.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-07 02:25:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pitaes.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.196.84 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: ENOM, INC. Nameservers: ["FISH.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM", "KAISER.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM"] Page title: Piteas — Optimal DEX Aggregator on PulseChain ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d26059274cab47d06284103e4a338cad24fdc2d91d5b7d583ec6d36505b65579 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-10 18:35:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 16:50:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-07 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 00:57:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb269-dc56-7415-b9bd-c10a58360e5d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/90226e86-92fb-483c-82b7-4c36a2fccd11 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pitaes.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pitaes.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pitaes.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pitaes.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pitaes.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:10:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pitaes.co has been identified as a crypto drainer impersonating a decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator on PulseChain. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into connecting wallets, enabling unauthorized token transfers. As of the latest assessment, the domain is offline, though prior activity suggests malicious intent targeting cryptocurrency holders. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through ENOM, INC. and resolves to the IP address 172.67.196.84, a Cloudflare-hosted endpoint. Security vendors flagged the domain in 3 of 95 VirusTotal scans, while it appears on three independent security blocklists. The site’s SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, and its trust score is rated 0/100 by Gridinsoft. Additional detection sources include MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL, all of which have blocked access to the domain. Technologies detected on the site include Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, commonly used to obfuscate malicious activity. Given the domain’s current offline status, the immediate threat of active exploitation is mitigated. However, historical indicators confirm its use in crypto drainer operations. Users are advised to revoke any wallet connections previously authorized to pitaes.co and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Security teams should update blocklists to include this domain and its associated IP. Cryptocurrency platforms are recommended to issue warnings to users who may have interacted with the site prior to its takedown. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-AB45B8 Favicon MD5: bcaa505c43213b2f1984eff28c435741 TLS cert SHA-256: d26059274cab47d06284103e4a338cad24fdc2d91d5b7d583ec6d36505b65579 ## 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/pitaes.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pitaes.co 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.
