Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies stark-vpn.online as a medium-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users, potentially to steal credentials or personal data. The threat type is classified as generic phishing, indicating the site attempts to mimic legitimate VPN services to lure unsuspecting visitors. The domain was registered recently, on October 13, 2025, through the Russian registrar REGRU-RU and resolves to the IP address 5.188.116.204. It appears on three distinct security blocklists and is flagged by seven out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The page title, "Morro VPN - Лучший VPs сервис," suggests an attempt to impersonate a VPN service, possibly targeting Russian-speaking users. These factors collectively indicate a suspicious infrastructure aiming to exploit users seeking VPN solutions. Currently, stark-vpn.online is taken offline, which mitigates immediate risk. Users are advised to avoid visiting or submitting any personal or financial information on this domain. Utilizing updated security software and consulting trusted sources for VPN services is recommended to prevent phishing exposure. PhishDestroy continues monitoring such domains to alert users promptly and enhance online safety. ## 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/stark-vpn.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stark-vpn.online 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.
