Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ponstoken.live Generic Phishing Campaign – High Risk Analysis Date: July 31, 2026. The domain ponstoken.live was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and created on July 28, 2026. It uses Cloudflare name servers mckenzie.ns.cloudflare.com and seth.ns.cloudflare.com and resolves to the IPv4 address 216.198.79.1. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, indicating that threat‑intel feeds have identified it as malicious. VirusTotal scans show that 7 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of its malicious nature. The domain is classified as a generic phishing campaign with a high risk rating and remains active at the time of reporting. Available intelligence does not include a page title, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, Safe Browsing verdicts, or any associated campaign identifiers such as OTX or known phishing kits. Consequently, the specific content hosted on the site and the precise victim‑targeting technique cannot be confirmed at this stage. The presence of Cloudflare name servers is common among malicious infrastructures and does not, by itself, imply benign behavior. Defenders should immediately add ponstoken.live to outbound and inbound filtering rules, enforce DNS sinkholing where possible, and monitor network traffic for connections to 216.198.79.1. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain with multiple sandbox and URL‑reputation services is advised to detect any changes in payload or hosting. Organizations employing email gateways should treat any messages containing links to this domain as malicious and quarantine them. Because the domain is newly created, rapid propagation is plausible; therefore, threat‑intel sharing platforms should be updated with the observed indicators of compromise to accelerate community response. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 27ebfcf1863b0b0b9d4044cf1ec321175c77039b5ee4e246536c6f2fdebdf3d7 ## 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/ponstoken.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ponstoken.live 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.
