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: 2013-09-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:41:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-01 14:45:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-02 07:01:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:11:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de3fa-c5e9-7509-aff8-45cfab084f99/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8667d6c0-8dff-4752-b7d6-08224117ad03 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/press-london.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.press-london.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=press-london.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/press-london.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/press-london.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:43:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies press-london.com as an active phishing domain that impersonates a legitimate news outlet to deploy a crypto drainer malware designed to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting visitors. This domain is not just another generic phishing attempt; it specifically targets users by mimicking a trusted press source while secretly loading malicious scripts that drain digital wallets. Security researchers have flagged this domain due to its involvement in unauthorized fund transfers, particularly targeting cryptocurrency holders who may mistake it for a legitimate news site. The threat actors behind this operation use deceptive tactics to trick users into connecting their wallets or entering sensitive information, which is then exploited to siphon funds without consent. This domain was flagged through PhishDestroy’s automated threat intelligence pipeline, which detected its malicious activity. Press-london.com was registered on September 20, 2013, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to IP address 23.227.38.32. Crucially, VirusTotal currently reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, indicating that many antivirus tools have not yet updated their signatures to recognize this threat. The domain also uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which adds a false sense of security by appearing legitimate. Despite its age, this domain has recently been repurposed for malicious activities, demonstrating how threat actors exploit long-standing domains to evade detection while carrying out their campaigns. If you have visited press-london.com, disconnect any connected cryptocurrency wallets immediately and revoke any permissions granted to the domain. Do not enter any personal or financial information on this site. Run a full antivirus scan on your device using updated security software to detect any potential malware. Report this domain to your antivirus provider and consider sharing your findings on PhishDestroy’s threat intelligence platform to help warn others. Avoid clicking on any suspicious links related to this domain, and verify the safety of websites using PhishDestroy’s real-time domain lookup tool before interacting with them. Staying vigilant and verifying websites can prevent falling victim to crypto drainers and other phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-B4FA48 Favicon MD5: 6fc21f5e886a5628e9ab1d0c47c4bd65 TLS cert SHA-256: e2c007a3fd010828e20e38a665d32dfb57e4278b1b818a8202fb514a55e56844 ## 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/press-london.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=press-london.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.
