Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] spx88k-cointelegraph.com: Fake Token Launch Scam Under The domain spx88k-cointelegraph.com is currently active and is under investigation for a specific threat type: crypto drainer. This domain impersonates the well-known cryptocurrency news site, Cointelegraph, to deceive users into believing they are engaging with a legitimate token launch. Analysis indicates that spx88k-cointelegraph.com has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, suggesting a low initial detection rate. The domain is registered through Ultahost, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 75.2.60.5. It was created on July 06, 2026. The website infrastructure includes technologies such as WordPress, MySQL, PHP, Vue.js, Netlify, jQuery, HSTS, and Google Tag Manager. The page title, 'Elon Musk, Introduces SPX88K Token: The AI-Powered Reward Ecosystem Built for the Next Digital Economy,' further reinforces the brand impersonation tactic. The current status of the domain is active, and further investigation is required to fully assess its capabilities and reach. SOC analysts recommend monitoring the domain for any changes in its technical infrastructure or content. Additionally, users should be warned to avoid clicking on links or entering personal information on this site. Organizations should consider adding this domain to their blocklists and educating their staff about the signs of brand impersonation and crypto drainer scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9073f9b218b22601a8bd6e415f7fd75e TLS cert SHA-256: 97890cfc77cd3d398e259423b1e4f582256ac011adea435bf45a2f495d460434 ## 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/spx88k-cointelegraph.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spx88k-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.
