Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pub-a5d28f531b364a168e13a47a4ce49b08.r2.dev is associated with credential theft and is currently active. There is no identifiable brand being impersonated, but the threat is significant due to its potential to harvest user credentials maliciously. Analysis reveals the domain has been flagged by 15 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating a serious security risk. The domain is registered with an unknown registrar, resolves to IP address 104.18.54.45, and is currently listed on one security blocklist, specifically being blocked by PhishingDB. The SSL certificate for this domain is issued by Let's Encrypt, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to the phishing attempts. Given the current status of the domain being active, it is imperative for users and organizations to refrain from interacting with this domain. It is recommended to implement network-level blocking for this domain and monitor logs for any outbound requests to this address, as well as educate users about the risks associated with credential phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: a7d73cf57253857ea0369aef51d03b8bfec991d66c420507d76c7c2e4d217189 ## 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/pub-a5d28f531b364a168e13a47a4ce49b08.r2.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pub-a5d28f531b364a168e13a47a4ce49b08.r2.dev 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.
