# PhishDestroy threat dossier — spx80k-cointelegraph.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 03:37:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/spx80k-cointelegraph.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Airdrop Phishing kit: Token Presale ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Ermes, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.142.10.5 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. Hosting org: Ultahost Inc Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] spx80k-cointelegraph.com: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain spx80k-cointelegraph.com was created on July 20, 2026, and is currently active. It resolves to the IP address 192.142.10.5 and is registered through NameSilo, LLC. Analysis indicates that the domain has been flagged by PhishDestroy, a known phishing protection service, which suggests malicious activity associated with this domain. Additionally, it appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious intent. While the domain's nameservers are hosted by Cloudflare, which is often used by legitimate sites, this is not uncommon for phishing domains to obfuscate their true nature. The absence of detections from 95 VirusTotal vendors raises concerns; however, this should not be interpreted as proof of safety, given the domain's activity. Currently, there is no Safe Browsing or other threat intelligence indicating a clean record. Due to these risk indicators, it is advisable for defenders to block access to this domain and educate users on recognizing phishing attempts, particularly those impersonating legitimate brands. As the domain is under investigation, continuous monitoring for updates and threats is essential. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 64e3979d55415025bfeff886cb36490b TLS cert SHA-256: 5b217437020d9e294ea98e8ccaf2226bf84114ad9e0d13f750018486a8237161 ## 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/spx80k-cointelegraph.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spx80k-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.
