Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is spx55k-cointelegraph.com a phishing site? The domain spx55k-cointelegraph.com was registered on July 09, 2026 through Ultahost, Inc. and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The authoritative name servers are martin.ns.cloudflare.com and thea.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating that the domain is hosted behind Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. The domain is listed on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing service has observed malicious activity associated with it. VirusTotal has recorded detections from three of ninety‑one scanned vendors, reinforcing the suspicion that the site is being used for abusive purposes. The threat intelligence source classifies the activity as generic phishing and assigns a high risk rating, with the operational status marked as active. No public information about the website’s content, page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes has been published, so the exact appearance and technical delivery mechanisms remain unknown. The absence of additional blocklist listings or broader vendor consensus does not imply safety; rather, the existing indicators already satisfy the criteria for a high‑confidence malicious classification. Defenders should add spx55k-cointelegraph.com to deny‑list or block rules at network perimeter and endpoint protection layers, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare name servers, and consider sink‑holing the IP address 188.114.97.3 if feasible. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as further analysis of the site’s payload or credential‑harvesting pages may reveal additional indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-C575F2 Favicon MD5: dfee09b02ee857cd810185c1f6b61ce6 TLS cert SHA-256: c656b72c7a8dea39f5660ede3ee99f2eb13629202d3c34b7e821e799102eb0f3 ## 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/spx55k-cointelegraph.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spx55k-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.
