Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged policyreport-x.com as an active high-risk copyright infringement phishing domain masquerading as an appeal to @elonmusk on X. The domain employs a deceptive page title, 'Copyright Infringement Appeal @elonmusk - X,' to exploit brand recognition and urgency, tricking users into submitting sensitive information under false pretenses. No drainer kit details are publicly available, but the page’s content is designed to mimic official X (formerly Twitter) appeals processes, indicating a likely credential-harvesting or malware-delivery operation. This domain presents several concrete technical indicators of malicious activity. VirusTotal reports a detection score of 6 out of 95 security vendors, signaling partial but incomplete recognition of its threat. Registered on April 16, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, policyreport-x.com resolves to IP address 172.67.209.144. It utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, though this does not guarantee safety. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and current blocklist counts remain limited, which may reflect its recent emergence or evasion tactics. As of the latest scan, policyreport-x.com remains active and poses a high risk to unsuspecting users. Immediate actions include blocking the domain at the network level and updating endpoint security rules to detect connections to 172.67.209.144. Users should avoid interacting with this site entirely. Remaining risk is high due to the domain’s active status, evasive infrastructure (including recent registration and partial VT detection), and the likelihood that it will escalate its operations. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for similar domains and report any sightings to PhishDestroy or relevant cybersecurity authorities. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-09645A TLS cert SHA-256: 780eae38f028f6c15b3a8098a45e291dfcf5a69c6b1ce7cc61c3b19c086718bc ## 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/policyreport-x.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=policyreport-x.com 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.
