Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies portals-chainlink.com as an active brand impersonation phishing domain designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets under the false pretense of a Chainlink portal. The domain leverages visual mimicry and social engineering tactics to trick visitors into authorizing malicious transactions or entering credentials. Security analysis confirms this site is not affiliated with Chainlink and serves as a gateway for crypto drainer operations targeting unsuspecting users. The page titled 'Storage' suggests file hosting functionality, possibly to normalize user trust before initiating payload delivery. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with high risk due to multiple indicators: it resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, was registered on May 03, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and carries a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. Independent threat intelligence via VirusTotal shows 10 out of 95 security vendors have already marked this domain as malicious. The creation date is highly suspicious, occurring in the future relative to current time, which may indicate bulk registration campaigns or typo-squatting targeting blockchain ecosystems. Users who visited portals-chainlink.com should immediately disconnect any connected wallets, revoke any unintended token approvals via blockchain explorers, and scan devices for malware using reputable security software. Do not interact with any prompts or download files from this domain. Report the domain to your wallet provider and local cybersecurity teams. Block the domain and associated IP at the network level to prevent further exposure. Stay vigilant—legitimate Chainlink portals use domains like chain.link or official subdomains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-92A142 Favicon MD5: 58d982316842994cd3bc717d15c22186 TLS cert SHA-256: a89b7160b3c86fb1c3768a4839102ef33f1b4fcedeca3f9d335d578a072d49d4 ## 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/portals-chainlink.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=portals-chainlink.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.
