Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sofi-inv.com as an active crypto drainer domain engineered to mimic the legitimate Sofi Investments platform. This fraudulent site masquerades as a crypto investment portal, luring users into transferring digital assets to attacker-controlled wallets. The domain leverages brand impersonation to exploit trust in established financial services, targeting cryptocurrency holders seeking high-yield investment opportunities. This domain was flagged by a single security vendor on VirusTotal out of 95 scans, indicating limited but confirmed malicious activity. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain was created on April 07, 2026, suggesting it is a recently deployed threat, likely launched during a period when new registrations receive less scrutiny. The use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate adds a misleading layer of legitimacy, tricking users into believing the site is secure. If you visited sofi-inv.com, do not enter any sensitive information such as login credentials, wallet addresses, or private keys. Disconnect from the site immediately and scan your device with updated antivirus software. Review all cryptocurrency transactions for unauthorized transfers—crypto drainers often initiate rapid withdrawals to obscure theft. Report suspicious activity to your wallet provider and relevant financial authorities. Avoid interacting with any unsolicited investment links promising high returns, especially those using similar domain patterns, and use bookmarked links for legitimate financial platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-29DCC1 Favicon MD5: 97943ed731f1101d5b60fc97334a4f89 TLS cert SHA-256: 5abe0ae1b2a32ca9e3f61c35ee364d225f5f8f1c71d5c5cf3492b7f75783babe ## 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/sofi-inv.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sofi-inv.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
