PhishDestroy threat report

Overview

PhishDestroy listed protofire.org on 2026-10-26 after an automated detection flagged a malicious label on VirusTotal. The domain redirected to its www subdomain and displayed the title “AI‑Powered Executive Hiring Platform”. A prior AI assessment described the page as clean, noting no impersonation or credential‑stealing content. The first sighting occurred 66 days after the domain was registered.

How the scam works

No specific malicious behavior was observed on the page, so the listing relies on external detections that suggest the domain could be used for phishing, malware distribution, or other fraudulent activity. In general, domains flagged by security engines may host deceptive pages, lure users into providing personal data, or serve malicious downloads. Visitors should treat any unsolicited request for credentials or downloads with suspicion.

Evidence

VirusTotal (analysis 2026-10-24) reported 1 malicious detection out of 92 engines, flagged by CRDF. Google Safe Browsing (checked 2026-10-26) returned no warning. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL listed the domain (checked 2026-10-26). OTX recorded 4 pulses mentioning the domain (checked 2026-10-26). Cloudflare Radar (2026-10-26) categorized it as malware. URLScan (2026-10-26) gave an engine‑based malicious score of 83 but an overall non‑malicious verdict.

Infrastructure

The domain was registered on 2026-08-21 through Squarespace Domains LLC. The recorded DNS resolution pointed to 37.221.111.69, and the server identified itself as nginx/1.18.0 on Ubuntu, with ports 22, 80, 443, 3000 observed. TLS used a Let's Encrypt certificate valid until 2026-11-22 and DNSSEC was enabled. No additional infrastructure is linked to the listing.

What to do

Users should avoid entering login credentials, personal data, or downloading files from protofire.org. If credentials were submitted, change them immediately. Administrators should block the domain at the network perimeter and monitor outbound connections to the recorded IP. Continue to watch for updates from PhishDestroy.

Questions about protofire.org

Is protofire.org legit?

No. PhishDestroy classifies protofire.org as a blocklisted domain (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-26. VirusTotal: 1/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.

Is protofire.org safe to connect a wallet?

No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on protofire.org. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.

What should I do if I used protofire.org?

Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Registration & observation details1

Availability observations

Last reachable observation

An estimated time describes an observation window. It does not prove a registrar action or the exact moment a site became unavailable.

Stored observation history1

Dated changes retained by the monitor and source collectors. Newest observations appear first; source states are not proof of a takedown.

  1. Domain monitor · First collection record

    Reachable

All retained availability observations2

Source: availability monitor. Every retained observation remains separate, including records with the same date or evidence hash but different sources or DNS states. An unknown state is not proof that the site is offline.

You are not alone and there is nothing to be ashamed of. Scammers are sophisticated criminals who exploit trust. Reporting your experience is the most powerful weapon against fraud — your report can prevent others from becoming victims and help law enforcement take action. Silence is the scammer’s greatest advantage. Break it.
If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.

If credentials, payment data, or files were exposed, report the incident immediately. Change affected passwords, revoke active sessions, and scan the device.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including protofire.org)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.

A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
