Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] playgroundbridge.xyz Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis indicates that playgroundbridge.xyz was registered on July 21, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolved to the Cloudflare‑owned address 172.67.208.85. The domain is hosted on Cloudflare DNS as shown by its authoritative nameservers paloma.ns.cloudflare.com and rodney.ns.cloudflare.com. Within two days of creation the domain was added to at least one security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, confirming active abuse. VirusTotal has recorded three positive detections out of ninety‑one scanned engines, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing alerts, OTX references, or SSL certificate anomalies have been published for this domain, leaving the full scope of the payload unknown. The rapid appearance on a blocklist and the presence of multiple detections suggest the site is being used for a generic phishing campaign, although the specific target brand or lure has not been disclosed in public feeds. Infrastructure analysis shows a typical abuse pattern: a newly registered domain pointing to a shared Cloudflare IP that benefits from the provider’s global CDN and obscures the true backend. The limited detection history (three vendors) may reflect either a short observation window or a low‑profile campaign, but the high risk rating is justified by the confirmed blocklist entry and the phishing tag applied by PhishDestroy. Defenders should add playgroundbridge.xyz to local deny lists, enforce DNS‑based blocking, and monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and other multi‑engine platforms is recommended to capture any escalation in detection counts. Because the domain’s content has not been publicly analysed, threat‑hunters should retrieve the page in a sandboxed environment to extract any credential‑phishing forms, malicious redirects, or download payloads. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f107a2d63e88f14f62e4c7ee00a83451 TLS cert SHA-256: b446f73bdee2f031207ea9f20b51067e4833364252114966503d84ddd32588be ## 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/playgroundbridge.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=playgroundbridge.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
