Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ref68881-crypto-app.com – High‑Risk Generic Phishing Site Analysis indicates that the domain ref68881-crypto-app.com was registered on July 29, 2026 through PublicDomainRegistry.com (operated by PDR Ltd.). The domain is currently active and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is hosted by Cloudflare as indicated by the authoritative nameservers sureena.ns.cloudflare.com and venkat.ns.cloudflare.com. The short age of the domain combined with the use of a reputable CDN suggests an attempt to leverage Cloudflare’s infrastructure to gain credibility and hide the true origin of the malicious payload. Two of ninety‑one security engines on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, reflecting a modest but non‑trivial detection rate. The domain also appears on three external blocklists and is explicitly listed by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL as a malicious resource. These independent listings corroborate the presence of a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency‑related services, consistent with the “generic phishing” classification supplied in the intelligence feed. No additional data such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title have been disclosed, leaving the exact content of the landing page unknown. Consequently, defenders cannot confirm whether the site hosts credential‑harvesting forms, malicious downloads, or redirects. The lack of publicly available telemetry beyond the blocklist entries means that the full scope of the campaign, including victim demographics and distribution vectors, remains uncertain. Given the observable indicators, security teams should block traffic to ref68881-crypto-app.com at network perimeters and update endpoint protection rules to include the domain and its associated IP address. Monitoring for DNS queries to the Cloudflare nameservers sureena.ns.cloudflare.com and venkat.ns.cloudflare.com that resolve to 188.114.97.3 can provide early detection of compromised hosts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-C68722 Favicon MD5: be6323fad688084a4da311abb1d0eda3 TLS cert SHA-256: 8be336054dd34fc5f86a35459f47d7e9065ff3b164794bfd6055f2616b874a19 ## 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/ref68881-crypto-app.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ref68881-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.
