# PhishDestroy threat dossier — stakecorex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 13:17:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/stakecorex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 85/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.111.179.208 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc Nameservers: ns1.ultahost.com, ns2.ultahost.com, ns3.ultahost.com, ns4.ultahost.com Registered: 2026-03-22 Page title: Stake Core Technology — Institutional Grade ETH Staking ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-21 04:27:16 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-21 01:29:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:10:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-01 21:59:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d0dff-0f35-75fd-9317-1d15b35eac75/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bb3562b9-fb75-41fe-9443-ef9d6bd76df5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stakecorex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stakecorex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stakecorex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stakecorex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stakecorex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:19:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified stakecorex.com as a domain under investigation for possible involvement in crypto drainer schemes. The site presents itself with the page title "Stake Core Technology — Institutional Grade ETH Staking," suggesting an affiliation with Ethereum staking services. While the exact nature of the threat is still under assessment, such domains often aim to deceive users into compromising their cryptocurrency wallets. The domain stakecorex.com was registered recently on March 16, 2026, via Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc. It resolves to the IP address 34.111.179.208. Despite current VirusTotal scans showing zero detections among 95 security vendors, this does not guarantee safety, as some emerging threats remain undetected by automated tools. The domain’s infrastructure and registration patterns are consistent with those commonly used in fraudulent crypto-related campaigns. Currently, stakecorex.com remains active and flagged as under investigation by PhishDestroy. Users are advised to exercise caution and avoid interacting with this domain or providing any sensitive information. Security professionals should monitor its activity closely and consider blocking or sandboxing traffic to this IP. Staying vigilant and verifying the legitimacy of cryptocurrency services can help mitigate the risk posed by such suspicious domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260321-866C4D Favicon MD5: 26c62eac836a4908d6c2e353e6d7241a ## 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/stakecorex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stakecorex.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
