# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sfxprotocol.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 03:20:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sfxprotocol.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Sei ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/92 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.9 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com Registered: 2026-04-28 Page title: SyncFlux | Swap • Presales • Deploy • Launch • Earn HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 16ff4fd5df045b46265125de32076623756701ccc38dda331b26060b2b137490 ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 06:56:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-07 03:57:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:31:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0093-be2f-752e-ae7c-e98a5b91c94d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cac23c8f-be22-4a65-9d99-1270641031ce Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sfxprotocol.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sfxprotocol.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sfxprotocol.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sfxprotocol.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sfxprotocol.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 06:57:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sfxprotocol.online as an active domain engaged in brand impersonation against Sei, a Layer-1 blockchain network. The domain mimics official Sei branding to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials or downloading malicious payloads. Cybersecurity teams should treat this domain as a high-risk threat vector due to its intent to exploit trust in the Sei ecosystem, particularly among developers and validators who may interact with protocol-related tools or interfaces. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy’s automated pipeline, revealing multiple red flags: it resolves to IP 163.61.188.9 and was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on April 28, 2026. As of this report, VirusTotal shows 0/95 detections, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted. The presence of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, further increasing its deceptive potential. The impersonation of Sei—a growing blockchain platform—makes this domain particularly dangerous, as attackers often target emerging ecosystems where security monitoring lags. Users who visited sfxprotocol.online or entered any information should immediately cease further interaction and revoke any credentials or API keys exposed. Run a full malware scan using updated antivirus tools and monitor accounts for unusual transactions or unauthorized access. Report the domain to your security team and platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or the Sei Foundation’s security contact. Avoid downloading any files or connecting wallets to this domain. Always verify URLs against official Sei channels (e.g., sei.io, sei.network) before interacting. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260507-03B201 Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: 16ff4fd5df045b46265125de32076623756701ccc38dda331b26060b2b137490 ## 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/sfxprotocol.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sfxprotocol.online 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.
