Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] spx28d-cointelegraph.com — Cryptocurrency-Themed Phishing Domain Analysis of spx28d-cointelegraph.com indicates a recently established domain likely involved in cryptocurrency-themed phishing activity. The domain was registered on July 28, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and is currently active as of July 31, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is associated with Cloudflare nameservers amos.ns.cloudflare.com and celeste.ns.cloudflare.com. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is hosted on Cloudflare's network, a common tactic to obscure origin and evade initial detection. The domain appears on two security blocklists: PhishDestroy and SEAL. No detections were recorded by the 91 vendors that scanned the domain on VirusTotal, though this absence does not confirm benign status. The specific content or targeted brand of the phishing site remains unconfirmed; the domain name suggests an association with cryptocurrency or financial platforms, but no page title, brand target, or scam type has been verified in available intelligence. Defenders should treat this domain as suspicious based on its recent registration, Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure, and presence on blocklists. Recommended actions include monitoring for connections to 188.114.96.3, blocking the domain at perimeter security controls, and investigating any internal systems that interact with it. Further analysis is required to determine the exact nature of the phishing campaign, including payload delivery mechanisms or credential harvesting tactics. No additional details regarding SSL certificates, HTTP response codes, or associated malware families are currently available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dfee09b02ee857cd810185c1f6b61ce6 TLS cert SHA-256: 05620d3053e793972dd13b8c1a54696108a7005c3c0fe4bfe8c67684c5119a18 ## 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/spx28d-cointelegraph.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spx28d-cointelegraph.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
