No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-14 13:29:42 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-08-01 20:21:20 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c56c2-7012-73a9-bb0d-be785a6ae8a3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ddec0609-a22a-4cc5-804f-403b4d50f5a0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stacklink.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stacklink.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stacklink.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stacklink.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stacklink.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 21:49:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stacklink.org Safety Check — Fake Airdrop Impersonating Aave On 24 July 2026, stacklink.org was identified as an active brand‑impersonation infrastructure targeting users of the Aave platform. The site presents the page title “Chainlink – The standard for onchain finance”, which does not reference Aave, but the domain has been classified as a fake‑airdrop campaign aimed at extracting cryptocurrency credentials from Aave users. The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to the Cloudflare‑provided address 104.21.26.242 (AS13335, United States). Cloudflare’s DNS configuration uses the nameservers carmelo.ns.cloudflare.com and gemma.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site serves content over HTTPS with a certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root. HTTP requests receive a 307 temporary redirect response, and network analysis reveals the use of AngularJS, jQuery, a jQuery CDN, and HTTP/3, all typical of modern web‑app delivery stacks. Threat‑intel aggregators have flagged the domain: VirusTotal reports that 2 of 93 security vendors have identified it as malicious, and PhishDestroy has placed it on its blocklist. Additionally, the domain appears on one external security blocklist, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. The combination of a low vendor detection count, a zero trust score, and the presence on blocklists suggests the infrastructure is actively used for phishing or credential‑harvesting operations. While the exact content of the landing page has not been inspected, the available metadata—page title, fake‑airdrop classification, and brand‑target indication—implies that victims may be presented with a fabricated Aave airdrop claim to solicit private keys or seed phrases. Defenders should block DNS resolution for stacklink.org, enforce URL filtering based on the observed IP address and nameservers, and monitor for any outbound connections to the Cloudflare edge node 104.21.26.242. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260214-8DDACC TLS cert SHA-256: bd79bd4465aa76c98b9ecc83c55dca0218ba015e15fb4140861a24fb0e7c961a ## 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/stacklink.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stacklink.org 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.
