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: 2026-02-13 04:45:49 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:22:38 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-08 01:24:38 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) 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/019c54ab-280a-7418-af06-eea2a075f360/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stake-aztec.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stake-aztec.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stake-aztec.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stake-aztec.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stake-aztec.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:46:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies stake-aztec.network as a medium-risk threat categorized under crypto drainer. The domain targets cryptocurrency users by mimicking a legitimate staking platform to siphon digital assets. This domain, created on February 21, 2026, appears on four security blocklists and resolves to IP 104.21.84.165. VirusTotal analysis indicates multiple security vendors flagging it as suspicious. The website title “Aztec Staking Dashboard” is designed to deceive users seeking staking services. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and remains active at the time of this report. Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and verify URLs when accessing crypto staking services. Security solutions should block this domain to prevent potential asset loss. Continuous monitoring is recommended as stake-aztec.network remains operational and poses ongoing risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b78bd27d1e81aa3cd0aab495d829dfbfd32f30c988f438f819002952fa099da7 ## 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 (volunteer 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/stake-aztec.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stake-aztec.network 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
