Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sparkdex.icu as an active crypto drainer domain currently engaged in malicious activities targeting cryptocurrency users. This domain is weaponized to deceive victims into connecting their digital wallets under the guise of fraudulent token offerings or fake DeFi platforms, resulting in unauthorized fund drainage. The threat remains operational with a confirmed active status as of the latest analysis cycle. This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating limited but concerning initial detection. It operates under a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, utilizes IP address 188.114.97.3 hosted on infrastructure associated with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was registered on May 03, 2026. Despite its recent registration, the low VirusTotal detection rate is atypical for such high-risk domains and may reflect evasion techniques or delayed vendor response. The SSL certificate leverages reputable issuance, which could be abused to enhance perceived legitimacy among potential victims. Given the elevated risk profile and active operational status, sparkdex.icu should be classified as a high-priority threat requiring immediate containment. Analysts are advised to block this domain at the DNS and firewall levels. End users should be warned against visiting or engaging with the site due to its confirmed crypto drainer functionality. Continuous monitoring of this domain and its associated infrastructure is strongly recommended to detect lateral movement or campaign expansion. All cryptocurrency-related communications referencing sparkdex.icu should be treated as malicious and reported accordingly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 604c3e65ba18bba02ed8c56767d3ca510c20e9ef19bfce0fb6fd4fb3c02c0e66 ## 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.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sparkdex.icu 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.
