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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 19:07:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 17:15:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef04a-c1d2-751c-a40a-ffc8749c7234/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/df8e73b4-3caa-4f7f-b55d-2739b8e4eae3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/smartcap-vault.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.smartcap-vault.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=smartcap-vault.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/smartcap-vault.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/smartcap-vault.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:02:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain smartcap-vault.com is actively targeting MetaMask users, as evidenced by its inclusion in public blocklists from MetaMask and SEAL. This domain is flagged as malicious by 2 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a growing awareness of its threat. PhishDestroy identified this domain on June 22, 2026, shortly after its creation on June 17, 2026, highlighting its rapid deployment in phishing campaigns. Registered with TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, smartcap-vault.com is hosted on an IP address located in France, under the organization OVH SAS. The domain employs an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of access and legitimacy in appearance. The use of Let's Encrypt can often mislead users into believing the site is secure, thereby increasing the risk of successful phishing attempts. The presence of smartcap-vault.com on multiple blocklists, including those maintained by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, underscores its malicious intent and the specific targeting of cryptocurrency users. The domain's swift detection and subsequent flagging by security vendors demonstrate the effectiveness of early identification systems in mitigating potential threats. Despite its relatively low detection rate on VirusTotal, the domain's activity and intent make it a significant risk to MetaMask users. Phishing domains like smartcap-vault.com exploit the brief window between their registration and widespread detection by antivirus databases. PhishDestroy's proactive monitoring captures these threats during this critical period, providing an essential layer of defense against emerging phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-3A6C93 Favicon MD5: 8a47a934f526ee0143fc97352ff68c28 TLS cert SHA-256: 07b396074b9201233b8dbdb22cea35fe89d41bfeb4720b6acc2e00f2641fd897 ## 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/smartcap-vault.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=smartcap-vault.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
