Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active phishing operation designed to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials through fraudulent reward schemes. Analysis indicates the site employs social engineering tactics, presenting itself as a legitimate rewards platform to deceive users into entering sensitive authentication details. The infrastructure is optimized for rapid deployment and evasion, with a focus on targeting users of decentralized finance platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain rewards-threews.live was registered on July 06, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is protected by Cloudflare, utilizing HSTS and HTTP/3 protocols to enhance perceived legitimacy. Detection metrics show 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, while it appears on 2 independent security blocklists. Additionally, the domain is referenced in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its malicious intent. Users who have visited rewards-threews.live or interacted with its content should immediately revoke any permissions granted to connected applications or browser extensions. All credentials entered on the site must be considered compromised and should be changed across all platforms where identical or similar passwords were used. It is recommended to monitor financial accounts and wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions.

The domain remains active as of this analysis, and users are advised to block it at the network level to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-48C27C Favicon MD5: a5b5863efe1f5a392d45b3e9f8ffdaf5 TLS cert SHA-256: 959ca7b19fc598475b87b8168aa18e5c0b60d1080e3180b4019cac80711f4aa3 ## 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/rewards-threews.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-threews.live 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.
