No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-27 02:24:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0675-4efd-742b-876d-530905b0df74/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sparkdex-staking.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sparkdex-staking.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sparkdex-staking.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sparkdex-staking.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sparkdex-staking.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 02:58:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain sparkdex-staking.com is associated with crypto drainer operations and maintains an active status according to current intelligence records. This infrastructure targets cryptocurrency users through deceptive staking interfaces designed to extract private keys and wallet authorizations without consent. Technical indicators include detection by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED with a creation date of June 26, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. Infrastructure analysis reveals consistent resolution patterns and absence of additional blocklist entries beyond the single VirusTotal flag. Risk assessment classifies the domain as high threat due to its active deployment and alignment with credential harvesting tactics in the cryptocurrency space. Concrete recommendations include immediate DNS blocking of sparkdex-staking.com at network perimeters, avoidance of any wallet connections to the site, and monitoring of associated IP 188.114.97.3 for related infrastructure. Organizations should enforce strict allowlisting for staking services and conduct regular threat intelligence reviews to detect similar domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: cef36bbc0e23af0eec767b5912ec0cb1e2a7126fcf5397bcb011e486db85ba79 ## 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/sparkdex-staking.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sparkdex-staking.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.
