# PhishDestroy threat dossier — portal-web3.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 13:46:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/portal-web3.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2606:4700:3033::ac43:d216 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: celeste.ns.cloudflare.com, junade.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-10 Expires: 2027-07-10 Page title: Un instant… HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 199372a1b33b1715ece6faa7064e32ce1c18f2c36e5d624bd5c389724a528a80 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 16:54:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-12 20:49:20 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4c84-5974-740f-82dc-0e23516e6cf8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/be111c88-8886-4403-8a9d-a02c1ca01eec Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/portal-web3.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.portal-web3.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=portal-web3.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/portal-web3.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/portal-web3.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 17:06:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, portal-web3.xyz, is flagged as a generic phishing threat with a high-risk classification. Analysis indicates it is designed to impersonate Web3 or cryptocurrency wallet interfaces, likely deploying credential-harvesting or asset-draining mechanisms. While no specific drainer kit or brand association has been confirmed, the domain’s naming convention and infrastructure align with known phishing campaigns targeting decentralized finance (DeFi) users. No legitimate services are known to operate under this domain, and its sole purpose appears to be malicious activity. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.210.22, a Cloudflare proxy endpoint commonly used to obfuscate hosting origins. It was registered on July 10, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with phishing domains. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security. VirusTotal detection shows 1/95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and other blocklists have not yet listed it, likely due to its recent registration or low initial exposure. As of the latest verification, portal-web3.xyz remains active and unblocked by most security platforms. No takedown requests or sinkholing actions have been observed, leaving the infrastructure operational. Users are advised to treat this domain as hostile and avoid interaction, particularly those accessing cryptocurrency wallets or DeFi platforms. Organizations should monitor for connections to 172.67.210.22 and consider preemptive blocking of the domain across network security controls. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain’s active status and the potential for credential theft or financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-3BC0B3 TLS cert SHA-256: 199372a1b33b1715ece6faa7064e32ce1c18f2c36e5d624bd5c389724a528a80 ## 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/portal-web3.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=portal-web3.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.
