No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 17:09:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-26 14:11:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-04 12:50:01 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dca1c-12c4-731a-86b3-9eaaea7b839b/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/309f6531-6f6b-494b-bff7-44994d6564a2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rubic-exchange.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rubic-exchange.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rubic-exchange.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rubic-exchange.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rubic-exchange.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 17:09:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rubic-exchange.app as an active cryptocurrency exchange scam under investigation for credential harvesting and fund theft. The domain mimics a legitimate trading platform to deceive users into connecting wallets or entering login details. No specific drainer kit signature has been extracted yet, but the site’s fraudulent branding and recent creation strongly suggest a generic cryptocurrency drainer deployment targeting multiple victims. rubic-exchange.app exhibits clear malicious indicators: VirusTotal detection rate remains at 0/95, indicating no antivirus coverage as of current scans. The domain was registered on April 24, 2026 through Dynadot LLC, resolving to IP 176.125.242.151. A Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate is in use, likely to enhance trust perception. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is currently unflagged, and no public blocklists have been observed covering this domain. These technical traits—especially the zero detection score and fresh domain age—signal a recently launched campaign with low detection visibility. As of this assessment, rubic-exchange.app remains active with no takedown actions or blocklist additions. Immediate user actions include avoiding the site, revoking any connected wallet permissions, and reporting the domain to security teams and platforms like Google Safe Browsing. Remaining risk is assessed as high due to the active status, zero detection coverage, and deployment of a likely generic drainer targeting crypto users. Continuous monitoring is required until automated detection improves and infrastructure is disrupted. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-4037BF Favicon MD5: e7c267f268a5269b5e549b85df88dff8 TLS cert SHA-256: 1b623d7fb60893773e23b6732f147499be83c00d54a86a774ab0259fd3ebe10c ## 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/rubic-exchange.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rubic-exchange.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
