# PhishDestroy threat dossier — stockopt.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 01:25:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/stockopt.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange Targeted brand: Bitcoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.5 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ["dns3.lytehosting.com", "dns2.lytehosting.com", "dns4.lytehosting.com", "dns1.lytehosting.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: Bitfinex | Cryptocurrency Exchange | Bitcoin Trading | Futures Trading | Margin Trading HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: d7e4d30b437f27ee255ca175a55b6882bb51345e1a7a95e9a419d382dc9207da ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-17 17:43:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 14:44:48 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-17 20:13:28 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/019d9be5-251c-732e-9345-8336022812b3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/33cfc532-8715-4231-b52f-a1c3eff22fb3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/stockopt.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.stockopt.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=stockopt.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/stockopt.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/stockopt.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-17 17:44:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stockopt.online surfaced as an active phishing domain on April 17, 2026, with no clear brand association. Generic phishing kits typically harvest credentials or payment data from unwitting victims, often mimicking legitimate investment or brokerage interfaces. The infrastructure behind the domain leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy, while PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com handles registration—an approach commonly observed in low-cost, short-lived malicious domains aimed at evading detection. Exact technical indicators confirm elevated risk: VirusTotal flagged the domain at a low 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating substantial underdetection. The domain resolves to IP address 163.61.188.5 and shows no presence in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklists as of current checks. Its youth—launched just days ago—suggests opportunistic deployment rather than sustained operation, yet the absence from major blocklists increases exposure for untrained users. Current status remains active with a confirmed elevated risk profile. Immediate response includes network-wide blocking of both the domain (stockopt.online) and its resolved IP (163.61.188.5), alongside certificate revocation where feasible. End users should refrain from visiting and report any observed lure pages. Remaining risk persists due to low vendor detection and recent registration, emphasizing the need for proactive DNS and URL filtering, user awareness training, and rapid indicator sharing across threat intelligence platforms. Continuous monitoring is required until the domain is sinkholed or taken offline. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-AAD64E Favicon MD5: 69ddef7825ed36fba83446a8fdfa731c TLS cert SHA-256: d7e4d30b437f27ee255ca175a55b6882bb51345e1a7a95e9a419d382dc9207da ## 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/stockopt.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stockopt.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.
