# PhishDestroy threat dossier — seongsu-exchange.co.kr ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 12:00:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/seongsu-exchange.co.kr/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.142.27 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Whois Corp.(http://whois.co.kr) Nameservers: houston.ns.cloudflare.com, imani.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-20 Page title: MONEYBOX 성수역점 | 20개국 환전 & 짐보관소 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-18 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0613e0dfaed541a803fee8af7d0a49590c106c9f6727a217deff75ee4e96e2ae ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-23 16:32:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-04 01:23:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 00:27:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e5506-2fce-71c0-85c2-c52eddd2e484/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/seongsu-exchange.co.kr crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.seongsu-exchange.co.kr Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=seongsu-exchange.co.kr AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/seongsu-exchange.co.kr URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/seongsu-exchange.co.kr/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-23 16:33:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies seongsu-exchange.co.kr as a crypto drainer domain impersonating a legitimate South Korean cryptocurrency exchange. This domain employs a generic phishing tactic tailored to deceive users into transferring digital assets to attacker-controlled wallets. While the exact drainer kit remains unverified, the infrastructure suggests automated fund extraction mechanisms commonly seen in such schemes. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection score of 1/95 security vendors, indicating low but present malicious signals. It is registered through Whois Corp. via the Korean registrar system (whois.co.kr), resolving to IP address 172.67.142.27. The domain was created on May 20, 2026—an unusually recent date that underscores its opportunistic nature. It appears on 2 known security blocklists and is currently blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, a threat intelligence service. Its SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, does not validate legitimacy. As of the latest assessment, seongsu-exchange.co.kr remains active despite multiple detections and blocklist inclusions. PhishDestroy recategorizes this domain as elevated risk due to its active infrastructure and wallet-draining intent. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this site, never connect cryptocurrency wallets, and report any suspicious links. While current mitigations are in place, the domain poses an elevated ongoing risk due to its fresh creation and clear intent to mimic financial services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 0613e0dfaed541a803fee8af7d0a49590c106c9f6727a217deff75ee4e96e2ae ## 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/seongsu-exchange.co.kr/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seongsu-exchange.co.kr 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.
