No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-17 17:17:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c6bf4-e625-734c-b4a0-bae7da9926ea/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/popularmintaccess08.vercel.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.popularmintaccess08.vercel.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=popularmintaccess08.vercel.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/popularmintaccess08.vercel.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/popularmintaccess08.vercel.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 18:17:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain popularmintaccess08.vercel.app has been identified as an active brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the popular NFT marketplace OpenSea. This domain is currently live and presents a significant risk to users who may mistake it for the legitimate OpenSea platform. The site's page title explicitly displays 'OpenSea.io', a clear attempt to deceive visitors into believing they are on an official OpenSea page. Technical analysis reveals that this domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 216.198.79.131. It was registered through Tucows Domains Inc. and has an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WR1. Notably, the domain has been flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating detection by some security solutions. Additionally, it appears on 3 security blocklists, further confirming its malicious nature. Despite these indicators, the domain remains active and accessible. Given the high risk level and the active status of this domain, users are strongly advised to avoid visiting popularmintaccess08.vercel.app under any circumstances. The site is designed to steal credentials or deploy crypto drainers, posing a direct threat to cryptocurrency and NFT assets. Users should always verify domain authenticity by checking for official URLs and enabling security extensions that block known phishing sites. If any interaction has occurred, immediate password changes and account monitoring are recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 7a6cac962308a713b8d563d7f02f37bb1049854c5825b0e1121856fa967b528d TLS cert SHA-256: 4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338 ## 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/popularmintaccess08.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=popularmintaccess08.vercel.app 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.
