Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain rewards-zebec.io is actively impersonating Zebec Network, a platform known for real-time crypto payroll and payments. This phishing site has been flagged by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, and is identified as malicious by 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The site mimics Zebec Network's branding, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or making unauthorized transactions under the guise of legitimate crypto payroll services. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services suggests an attempt to appear credible and trustworthy. However, the domain's platform risk score of 88 out of 100 indicates a high likelihood of malicious activity. Despite the low detection rate on VirusTotal, the domain's presence on multiple blocklists underscores its threat level. Phishing domains like rewards-zebec.io often exploit the time gap between registration and detection by antivirus databases, allowing them to operate undetected for short periods. PhishDestroy's early detection capabilities help identify such threats before they gain wider recognition, protecting users from potential scams. As the domain remains active, vigilance is crucial to prevent falling victim to this crypto payroll phishing scheme. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 39a7dd9ba91f89a74e0a4bfb0d4266dd TLS cert SHA-256: 68913e607e891ea72c05cc2fa66e9805e0f8d14a538a7f3b97d6be691b5b4548 ## 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-zebec.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rewards-zebec.io 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.
