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: 2025-08-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-08-14 16:03:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-27 04:53:48 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-24 03:00:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198a95d-7f47-740a-8072-56f9b8fa0ca7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rocketpool.vip crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rocketpool.vip Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rocketpool.vip AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rocketpool.vip URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rocketpool.vip/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rocketpool.vip as an active phishing domain impersonating the Rocket Pool platform. This site aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information by replicating legitimate branding, posing a medium-level threat to unsuspecting visitors. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.32.1 and is registered through DYNADOT LLC. It was created recently on August 10, 2025, and currently appears on three distinct security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis flags this domain by three security vendors out of ninety-five, confirming its malicious nature within the cybersecurity community. Despite its medium risk classification, rocketpool.vip remains active and accessible. Users are strongly advised to avoid engaging with this domain or submitting any credentials. Continuous monitoring and blocking of this domain across networks are recommended to mitigate potential phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: d418cdd9918939873758a34c214161a9f8f3c69d91333836cc094b48b43b2ca1 TLS cert SHA-256: 870e37f03dcfd48233d405848216836398905fc1a82fdb4d7a5d4295f1385106 ## 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/rocketpool.vip/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rocketpool.vip 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.
