# PhishDestroy threat dossier — rewards-user.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 04:03:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/rewards-user.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.96.187.51 (US, New York City) ASN: ASAS32475 SINGLEHOP-LLC - Internap Holding LLC, US Hosting org: AS32475 Internap Holding LLC Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 07:18:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-03 05:21:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 12:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2668-871b-7443-8021-a21afc194b78/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/65d9274f-9a5b-47cf-b5a8-e1adae3a2d3e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rewards-user.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rewards-user.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rewards-user.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rewards-user.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rewards-user.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 07:26:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, rewards-user.online, is flagged for impersonating Hawk Host, a legitimate hosting provider, with the intent of credential theft. The page title, 'Welcome To Hosting With Hawk Host!', directly mimics the branding of the authentic service, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to harvest login credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information from unsuspecting users who believe they are interacting with a trusted hosting platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 01, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.96.187.51. The server employs Nginx and OpenResty technologies, and the SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly used by both legitimate and malicious sites. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, indicating the domain has not yet been widely flagged. No blocklist entries or prior malicious associations were identified in public threat feeds, suggesting this is a newly deployed campaign. Users who have visited rewards-user.online or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any exposed passwords, particularly those associated with hosting accounts or financial services. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to mitigate unauthorized access. Monitor for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report the domain to security teams or threat intelligence platforms for further investigation. If payment details were submitted, contact financial institutions to flag potential fraudulent activity. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260703-5270E4 TLS cert SHA-256: 32d5d6e00db855c8ecd42565306870ead4f6e3ee28891dd802a84306a1143fee ## 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-user.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-user.online 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.
