Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/prevailedinv.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: base (and: google, revolut, telegram, whatsapp)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      107.172.61.186 (US, Buffalo)
ASN:             ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US
Hosting org:     AS36352 HostPapa
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R11
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-22 07:40:37 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:58:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies prevailedinv.com as an active phishing domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the Base platform. Classified as a low-risk threat, this domain attempts to deceive users by leveraging the recognized Base brand name to lure victims into financial scams involving cryptocurrency investments and other assets.

Technical analysis reveals that prevailedinv.com resolves to IP address 107.172.61.186 and was registered on February 21, 2026. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has a minimal detection rate on VirusTotal, flagged by only one of 95 security vendors. Its webpage title, “WELCOME | Prevailedinv - Shaping your life financially | BTC & Cryptocurrency Investment | Forex | NFTs | Gold Mining & Real Estate,” indicates a broad investment scam facade.

The domain remains active and users are advised to avoid interaction with it. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance when encountering unsolicited investment offers linked to this domain and urges reporting to appropriate security teams. Blocking prevailedinv.com on enterprise networks can help mitigate potential risks associated with this ongoing phishing campaign.

## 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.
