Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is proofofbagwork.xyz a phishing site? Analysis as of July 23 2026 indicates that the domain proofofbagwork.xyz was registered on July 21 2026 through Global Domain Group LLC. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3 and uses Cloudflare authoritative nameservers hank.ns.cloudflare.com and keyla.ns.cloudflare.com. VirusTotal reports that 3 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, reflecting a modest but non‑trivial detection rate. The domain is listed on a single external blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that at least one security community has identified it as malicious. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, or other reputation feeds have been disclosed for this domain, and no SSL/TLS certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are currently available in the intelligence set. Consequently, the presence of the domain on a blocklist and the multiple vendor detections constitute the primary evidence of its malicious nature. The short registration window, recent creation date, and use of Cloudflare infrastructure are consistent with fast‑flux or throwaway phishing deployments. Defenders should consider adding proofofbagwork.xyz to network‑level deny lists, enforce DNS sink‑holing, and monitor outbound connections to the associated IP address 188.114.96.3. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as additional detection data or content analysis may emerge. Until further forensic evidence is obtained, the domain should be treated as high‑risk and blocked in enterprise security controls. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260723-991957 TLS cert SHA-256: 302f230a8a463355da2d9c01c4f6153859ae115409f6e12c3347a35cb17c3ec1 ## 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/proofofbagwork.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=proofofbagwork.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.
