No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 16:34:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-27 15:36:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-27 18:02:08 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa402-a523-778d-8125-15f86cbde57b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stake-sherwood.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stake-sherwood.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stake-sherwood.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stake-sherwood.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stake-sherwood.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 16:34:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stake-sherwood.xyz Crypto Drainer Alert The domain stake-sherwood.xyz was registered on July 27, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The authoritative nameservers are memphis.ns.cloudflare.com and zelda.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. DNS resolution points to the IP address 104.21.84.121, which belongs to Cloudflare’s edge network and masks the underlying hosting provider. Threat intelligence shows the domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy blocklist, confirming that at least one reputable anti‑phishing feed is already distributing indicators for this site. VirusTotal has analyzed the domain with 91 security vendors; nine of those vendors returned a positive detection, suggesting that the domain exhibits characteristics commonly associated with malicious activity. The detection count is modest but sufficient to warrant heightened scrutiny, especially given the classification of the campaign as a “crypto drainer”. The rapid creation date and immediate appearance on blocklists imply a short‑lived, opportunistic operation. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been disclosed, so the surface‑web characteristics remain unknown. Consequently, defenders cannot confirm whether the site hosts a landing page that solicits cryptocurrency transactions or whether it employs redirect chains to harvest credentials. Given the limited but concrete evidence, security teams should treat stake-sherwood.xyz as a high‑risk indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain and its resolved IP address to outbound and inbound firewall deny lists, updating DNS filtering policies to block resolutions, and ensuring that endpoint protection solutions ingest the nine VirusTotal detections. Monitoring of Cloudflare‑associated IP ranges for additional malicious domains may also help uncover related infrastructure.

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/stake-sherwood.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stake-sherwood.xyz 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.
