Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk cryptocurrency phishing site specifically targeting users of the Smartchain ecosystem. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate Smartchain services, as evidenced by the page title 'Smartchain' and the domain name smartvncoin.xyz, which combines elements suggestive of both Smartchain and Vietnamese coin-related activity. The threat type is confirmed as cryptocurrency phishing, with a focus on credential harvesting and wallet compromise, given the domain's thematic alignment with blockchain services. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this assessment. The domain resolves to IP address 217.216.32.97 and is registered through Name.com, Inc., with a creation date of July 07, 2026, indicating recent deployment. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal stand at 13 out of 95, a notable ratio for a newly registered domain. Google Safe Browsing has flagged the domain under the 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING' category, further corroborating its phishing intent. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic among phishing sites to appear legitimate while lacking organizational validation. No historical reputation or trust scores are associated with this domain, reinforcing its suspicious nature. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to flag any attempts to access smartvncoin.xyz or its resolved IP. Users should be educated on recognizing cryptocurrency phishing tactics, particularly those impersonating Smartchain or similar blockchain services. Wallet providers and exchanges are advised to monitor for credential reuse or unauthorized access attempts linked to this domain. Given the domain's active status, continuous monitoring for related infrastructure, such as newly registered lookalike domains or subdomains, is recommended to preempt further phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a8f16c36c7fb0e42df86c075bcd4d00e TLS cert SHA-256: cf7f3c862691e5f35f5ff8996c55484820fa77ffdf77513980eb693d4b473848 ## 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/smartvncoin.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=smartvncoin.xyz 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.
