# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sigmaengine.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-04 12:53:16 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sigmaengine.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a05:d014:58f:6200::258 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc Nameservers: aria.ns.cloudflare.com, rob.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-03 Expires: 2027-03-03 Page title: Sigma Engine ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0ad4a39f3e5594b9f7bb24c8acb104b08fba138f1131cedad9770bd155d9ad9d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.sigmaengine.io ## 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: 2026-03-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:25:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13c3-d489-73bd-84cf-df3b6744bf6b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sigmaengine.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sigmaengine.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sigmaengine.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sigmaengine.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sigmaengine.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 18:00:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain sigmaengine.io is currently under investigation for credential theft operations targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates the site presents itself under the page title 'Sigma Engine,' which may be designed to harvest login credentials for crypto wallets or exchanges. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains active and has not been flagged by security vendors for malicious activity. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 03, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc. It resolves to the IP address 35.157.26.135, a hosting provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious services. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security vendors, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely identified as a threat. The absence of prior flagging does not confirm safety, as newly registered domains often evade initial detection. No associated brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the page title and domain naming convention align with common credential theft tactics in the cryptocurrency space. Current status remains under active investigation, with no definitive blocklist inclusion or takedown actions observed. Users are advised to treat this domain as high-risk for credential theft, particularly if accessed through unsolicited links or crypto-related communications. Network-level blocking of the IP 35.157.26.135 is recommended for enterprise environments. Individuals should avoid entering sensitive information, enable multi-factor authentication on crypto platforms, and verify domain legitimacy through official sources before interaction. Monitoring for updated threat intelligence on this domain is strongly advised, as detection rates may change rapidly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 09b95aff7835355d9a2eac86e78e90ed TLS cert SHA-256: 0ad4a39f3e5594b9f7bb24c8acb104b08fba138f1131cedad9770bd155d9ad9d ## 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/sigmaengine.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sigmaengine.io 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.
