Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ref65231-crypto-app.com Fake Crypto Wallet Phishing Analysis of the domain ref65231-crypto-app.com indicates a high-risk phishing operation targeting cryptocurrency users, registered on July 29, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and is hosted on Cloudflare nameservers daisy.ns.cloudflare.com and lochlan.ns.cloudflare.com. As of July 30, 2026, the domain remains active and has been flagged by 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal reports 2 of 91 security vendors detecting the domain as malicious, though the specific detection rules or signatures are not disclosed in available intelligence. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was created less than 24 hours prior to this report, a common characteristic of phishing campaigns designed to evade detection and takedown efforts. The use of Cloudflare nameservers and hosting may obscure the true origin of the malicious content, complicating attribution and mitigation. The domain name includes the term 'crypto-app,' suggesting an intent to impersonate a cryptocurrency wallet or exchange service, though the exact content and targeted brand are not confirmed in available data. No HTTP status, SSL certificate details, or page title information is currently available for further classification. Defenders are advised to block the domain ref65231-crypto-app.com and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for connections to this domain, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency-related activities occur. Given the domain's recent registration and active status, additional variants or related infrastructure may emerge. Organizations using MetaMask or similar crypto wallets should ensure users are alerted to this threat, as the domain is explicitly blocked by MetaMask's security systems. Further analysis of the domain's content, if accessible, may provide additional indicators of compromise or targeted brands. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-908E03 Favicon MD5: be6323fad688084a4da311abb1d0eda3 TLS cert SHA-256: 60c81dd9677f3659fd61d14530709cc195539e6f17fe10864521d4346171e8b2 ## 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/ref65231-crypto-app.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ref65231-crypto-app.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
