Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] rewards-zeal.app — Cloudflare-Hosted Phishing Domain Analysis of the domain rewards-zeal.app indicates an active phishing campaign first registered on July 21, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is part of Cloudflare's infrastructure, as further evidenced by its nameservers bowen.ns.cloudflare.com and laila.ns.cloudflare.com. This hosting choice is consistent with observed tactics used by threat actors to obscure the origin of phishing sites and leverage Cloudflare's SSL and DDoS protection services. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, a common configuration for Cloudflare-managed domains. As of July 26, 2026, the domain is flagged by six out of ninety-one security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting early but growing detection coverage. It appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating targeted recognition by anti-phishing and cryptocurrency security platforms. The specific content or brand impersonation of the site has not yet been analyzed; however, the presence of MetaMask in the blocklist data may suggest a potential focus on cryptocurrency-related fraud, though this remains unconfirmed without further evidence. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at the DNS or network level. Given its recent registration and use of Cloudflare, monitoring for changes in resolution or SSL status may help track its evolution. Security teams should correlate this domain with other indicators from the same registrar or IP range, particularly those registered in the same timeframe, to identify potential clusters of related phishing infrastructure. While detection coverage is currently limited, the domain's inclusion on multiple blocklists warrants immediate defensive action. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-043E84 TLS cert SHA-256: c6087701bcac00144a9b592dfa49cbbf3424c797b253bd31935cdbb016d28eae ## 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-zeal.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-zeal.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
