Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] spxpresale-cointelegraph.com — Phishing Campaign Report The domain spxpresale-cointelegraph.com was registered through Ultahost, Inc. and first observed on July 14, 2026. It resolves to the IPv4 address 192.142.10.5 and is served by Cloudflare name servers (kareem.ns.cloudflare.com and kinsley.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain appears on a single external security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, indicating that at least one detection platform has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the scanners returned a positive detection at the time of the last check. While the absence of a detection does not guarantee safety, it confirms that the domain has not yet triggered an automated signature in those datasets. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, or page‑title information have been published, and no Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange entries are currently linked to the domain. Consequently, the exact content served by the site remains unverified, but the combination of recent creation, Cloudflare infrastructure, blocklist presence, and active mitigation suggests a purposeful phishing operation. Defenders should add spxpresale-cointelegraph.com to URL filtering and DNS‑allow‑list denial rules, monitor traffic to the associated IP address, and consider sharing the indicator with downstream security feeds to improve collective detection. Ongoing observation is recommended to capture any changes in hosting, TLS deployment, or content that could confirm the phishing payload. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-6B5DB9 Favicon MD5: 64e3979d55415025bfeff886cb36490b TLS cert SHA-256: dd24a277bff7d5f4fc24a2c1cc5497a27b37bb5d9281624b2bf9a95587806837 ## 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/spxpresale-cointelegraph.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=spxpresale-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.
