Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rewards-marinade.finance as a medium-risk phishing domain targeting users of the Marinade Finance platform. The domain mimicked the legitimate service by using the title "Marinade Finance - MSOL Bonus Rewards Live" to entice victims with fraudulent crypto reward offers. It exploited trust in Marinade’s brand to lure users into revealing sensitive wallet credentials. Technical indicators include resolution to IP 188.114.97.3 and its association with the Angel Drainer malware kit, a known crypto drainer tool designed to siphon funds from victim wallets. The domain was flagged by 8 out of 95 VirusTotal engines and appeared on four separate security blocklists. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, it also appeared in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse. These factors confirm its use in active crypto theft campaigns. Currently, rewards-marinade.finance has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to end users. However, its prior activity highlights ongoing threats from phishing sites impersonating DeFi projects. Users are advised to remain cautious, verify URLs carefully, and avoid unsolicited crypto reward offers. Continuous monitoring and prompt takedown efforts remain critical in combating such crypto drainer campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 2da9c178cc40f5b5bd7188286e1ca893e202eeb1a62f3371c629157cb8eb1b92 ## 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/rewards-marinade.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-marinade.finance 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.
