Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, steelcarp.com, is flagged as an active credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login interfaces. Analysis indicates no direct association with known brand impersonation or drainer kits, suggesting a custom-built or low-profile phishing campaign. The infrastructure appears designed to evade initial detection while maintaining operational persistence. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 208.91.199.129. It was created on April 02, 2026, an anomalous future date likely indicating fraudulent registration practices. VirusTotal reports a detection rate of 2 out of 95 security vendors, reflecting limited but growing awareness. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, providing a veneer of legitimacy while enabling encrypted communication for malicious purposes. Google Safe Browsing status and blocklist counts remain unconfirmed at this stage, though the low vendor detection suggests minimal prior exposure. The domain remains active and poses an elevated risk to users encountering phishing lures. Response actions should include immediate network-level blocking of the IP 208.91.199.129 and domain-level filtering for steelcarp.com. Organizations are advised to monitor for credential exposure and conduct retrospective log analysis for connections to the identified infrastructure. Despite the low initial detection rate, the domain's operational status and encrypted traffic warrant continued vigilance, particularly given the suspicious registration date and hosting patterns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 4f51001807f8eff7e8cd2e4a12c338fc TLS cert SHA-256: 38f44b53eaeeaf7180b70dc769b1b4b9c5b640308db97f6151aa16c15c7d342a ## 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/steelcarp.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=steelcarp.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
