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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-23 17:30:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 18:22:38 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:32:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, seongsu-exchange.kr, is identified as an active cryptocurrency phishing platform specifically targeting Korean-speaking users. The site masquerades as a legitimate currency exchange and luggage storage service under the name "MONEYBOX 성수역점 | 20개국 환전 & 짐보관소," a deceptive tactic designed to exploit trust in local businesses. Analysis indicates the domain is engineered to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases, likely through fraudulent login portals or fake wallet interfaces. The use of a localized brand name and service offering suggests a targeted campaign aimed at users familiar with the Seongsu district in Seoul, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on May 23, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar, an unusual future date that may indicate domain spoofing or a misconfiguration in threat intelligence feeds. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.180.23, hosted by a content delivery network known for providing anonymity to malicious actors. As of the latest assessment, only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, reflecting either evasion techniques or delayed detection. The domain is currently blocked by three independent security blocklists, including cryptocurrency-specific protection systems. The SSL certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt with serial number E7, provides encrypted connections but does not validate the legitimacy of the site’s content or operators. Users who have visited seongsu-exchange.kr or interacted with its content should take immediate remedial action. Any credentials, wallet addresses, or recovery phrases entered on the site should be considered compromised. Affected users are advised to cease all interaction with the domain, revoke access to any connected wallets, and transfer assets to new, secure wallets using fresh seed phrases. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware or browser-based exploits. Additionally, monitoring for unauthorized transactions on all linked financial and cryptocurrency accounts is critical. Due to the domain’s active status and targeted nature, heightened vigilance is warranted for individuals who may have been exposed to this phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 17b54203f18da0c75a20230353ec302c3b06903f91b68e85b36b8f67aa14a02b ## 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 (operator 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.kr/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seongsu-exchange.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
