Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] ruesox.com has been flagged by PhishDestroy as a credential theft domain. The domain impersonates legitimate login portals to harvest user credentials, posing a direct risk to victims' personal and financial data. While no specific drainer kit has been identified in this campaign, the infrastructure aligns with common patterns used for credential harvesting, including deceptive login forms and social engineering tactics to trick users into surrendering sensitive information. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of ruesox.com. The domain resolves to IP 172.67.170.180, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 21, 2026. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors detecting the domain, indicating low current visibility in threat feeds. The domain employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, and its recent creation date suggests a short-lived campaign designed for quick exploitation. The absence of blocklist entries at this time reflects the domain's freshness rather than its safety. The domain remains active and under investigation with a status marked as 'active'. Users are advised to avoid interacting with ruesox.com and report any encounters to PhishDestroy for further analysis. The remaining risk is high due to the domain's credential theft objective and the potential for continued exploitation before broader detection occurs. Immediate avoidance and reporting are critical to mitigate exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-8AE483 Favicon MD5: c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f TLS cert SHA-256: 8e05be31221cf70b78c358cfd00f4ad751ce2fc69051d59760d535314d9ca098 ## 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/ruesox.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ruesox.com 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.
