No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:48:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 12:29:08 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:05:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, spax88k.net, is currently active and flagged as a crypto drainer scam designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets to malicious smart contracts. The threat specifically impersonates an AI-powered crypto presale offering unrealistic returns, such as a 200% early bonus, to lure victims into executing unauthorized transactions. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is tailored to drain assets from connected wallets, a common tactic in fraudulent token sales and fake investment schemes. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 18, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1, hosted by a provider in the United States, with no prior malicious detections reported by VirusTotal (0/95 vendors). Despite this, the domain appears on one security blocklist, suggesting emerging recognition of its fraudulent nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), providing a superficial layer of legitimacy while obscuring the malicious intent of the operation. The page title, 'SPAX88K Token — AI-Powered Crypto Presale | Up to 200% Early Bonus,' explicitly targets users seeking high-yield investment opportunities in the cryptocurrency space. Current status confirms the domain remains active and operational, with no takedown or mitigation efforts observed as of this report. Users are advised to treat any interaction with spax88k.net as high-risk and avoid connecting wallets or transmitting funds to addresses associated with the site. Organizations should update blocklists to include the domain and its resolving IP, while monitoring for additional indicators of compromise, such as wallet addresses or smart contract interactions linked to the campaign. Cryptocurrency platforms and wallet providers are recommended to flag transactions involving this domain as suspicious and alert users to potential fraud. Proactive education on recognizing fake presales and unrealistic investment promises is critical to mitigating further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f3672c688f16eac926949e6bc906adbc TLS cert SHA-256: 5c3a6b79c89dc2baa050033aa7b4bde23430c42a9071f8213df41778f31fac65 ## 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/spax88k.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spax88k.net 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.
