Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies SparkDex.digital as an active crypto drainer phishing domain first observed on security systems on May 2, 2026. This fraudulent domain mimics legitimate decentralized exchange interfaces—specifically targeting Web3 users tricked into connecting wallets under the false pretense of token swaps or liquidity mining. The threat actor operates a drainer kit designed to exploit EVM wallet permissions (e.g., token approvals) and extract digital assets via malicious smart contract interactions. While no specific brand is being impersonated in current campaigns, the infrastructure and naming suggest an attempt to capitalize on the Spark ecosystem’s reputation. Technical analysis confirms SparkDex.digital resolves to IP 104.21.25.156, is registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. Security blocklist coverage remains limited with 2 detections, and VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 antivirus engines flagging the domain. Notably, this domain is already blocked by MetaMask and the SEAL real-time threat intelligence feed, indicating proactive defensive action despite low blocklist penetration. The domain was created suspiciously ahead of public project timelines, raising red flags about preemptive fraud deployment. SparkDex.digital remains under active investigation with a current risk status of 'under_investigation'. While immediate protective measures such as blocking by MetaMask and SEAL reduce exposure for end users, the lack of broader detection and the use of trusted infrastructure (Let’s Encrypt, NICENIC) prolongs the threat window. Remaining risk remains moderate-to-high due to the drainer’s ability to bypass initial defenses, low VT detection, and potential for rapid propagation via social engineering campaigns. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing this domain, revoke any accidental token approvals, and report suspicious wallet connections to their security providers immediately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8d528467f0bc1c79f9c18d7eb1ca36266da9a1f41ce961fc4b500ca9bca1c7a2 ## 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.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sparkdex.digital 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.
