Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain rewards-micron.app has been identified as a specific threat of brand impersonation and is currently active. The domain allegedly poses as a part of Micron Technology's rewards program, potentially misleading users into disclosing sensitive information under false pretenses. According to the data available, rewards-micron.app was created on June 23, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, further raising concerns regarding its legitimacy. Security analysis indicates that it has been flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors for suspicious activity, suggesting a potential compromise or malicious intent. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, indicating some level of encryption, but does not assure the credibility of the domain itself. Given the current status of rewards-micron.app, it is highly recommended that users refrain from interacting with this domain. Ongoing monitoring for possible association with phishing campaigns is advised, given its risk level of high and continuous active status. Users are urged to ensure they verify the authenticity of similar domains, especially when prompted to enter personal or financial information. Additionally, it is advisable to report any phishing attempts associated with this domain to relevant cybersecurity authorities to mitigate further risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-B682E6 Favicon MD5: 499b3e12c851975798f35c22d2ed273c TLS cert SHA-256: 721cee0f7b3aab190b0b8aa7fdcf885a160850032ea1ecee435f33e55967d816 ## 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-micron.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-micron.app 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.
