No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-14 10:52:19 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:50:53 UTC (STALE — 15 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-27 03:34:27 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 15 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 15 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c552a-0100-709e-830e-66f6c0bca4b5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/988679db-46b5-4a42-8036-15d5738492ac Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/purpsdex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.purpsdex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=purpsdex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/purpsdex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/purpsdex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 15:27:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain purpsdex.com has been identified as a crypto drainer phishing threat designed to steal cryptocurrency assets by impersonating a decentralized exchange platform. This domain is currently offline and no longer accessible to users. Security analysis reveals this domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3. Technologies detected include Cloudflare and HTTP/3 protocols, which were likely used to obscure the malicious infrastructure. Given the domain's current offline status, immediate technical remediation is not required. However, users should remain vigilant for similar domains and verify DEX platforms through official channels. Organizations should update security awareness training to include crypto drainer threats, and security teams should monitor for any reactivation attempts of this domain or similar malicious registrations targeting cryptocurrency platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-E9A517 Favicon SHA-256: fb635a494ff32fe6c4abe50aabe0a3c35ab52fece168c1c73c121e14b9921b96 TLS cert SHA-256: 0c680dffcfb0f079f3d3eed6f0692e0cd3a8c695188f5e8d6779d6e176f7f431 ## 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/purpsdex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=purpsdex.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.
