Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ref76223-crypto-app.com: Confirmed Crypto Phishing Site Analysis of the domain ref76223-crypto-app.com indicates it is an active phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users, registered on July 29, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.13.44, which is associated with Cloudflare infrastructure, as evidenced by its nameservers (gail.ns.cloudflare.com and matias.ns.cloudflare.com). This hosting choice is commonly observed in phishing campaigns due to Cloudflare's privacy and proxy services, which can obscure the true origin of malicious traffic. As of July 30, 2026, the domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, which specifically flag it as a threat. While VirusTotal detection remains limited, with only 2 of 91 security vendors identifying the domain as malicious, this does not diminish its confirmed risk level. The discrepancy between blocklist inclusion and VirusTotal detection may reflect delays in vendor signature updates or the use of evasion techniques by the threat actor. The domain's registration date, combined with its rapid inclusion on multiple blocklists, suggests a coordinated effort to deploy phishing infrastructure quickly. The naming convention 'ref76223-crypto-app' implies an attempt to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, though the exact content of the site has not been analyzed to confirm specific targeting (e.g., wallet credentials, seed phrases, or fraudulent token offers). Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking measures at the DNS or network level. Organizations using cryptocurrency services are advised to monitor for references to this domain in logs or user reports, as it may be distributed via phishing emails, social media, or malicious advertisements. Further investigation into the IP address and associated domains may reveal additional infrastructure linked to this campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-645E47 Favicon MD5: be6323fad688084a4da311abb1d0eda3 TLS cert SHA-256: ce5c40c0b9f662ca6bf64adea4f1f76ae7f8d1827bf57a94a27b512037753a30 ## 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/ref76223-crypto-app.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ref76223-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.
