Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] stvaults.com is a recently registered domain (January 30, 2026) actively engaged in a brand impersonation campaign designed to deceive users into interacting with crypto drainer malware. The site masquerades as a legitimate vault or storage service, likely targeting users in the cryptocurrency ecosystem who may mistake it for a trusted platform. Threat analysis indicates that the operators are leveraging a newly registered domain with a clean reputation to bypass initial detection, relying on social engineering tactics to lure victims. The absence of SSL warnings—despite using a Google Trust Services certificate—further enhances the site's credibility, reducing user suspicion during interaction. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as an emerging high-risk threat based on converging evidence. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and currently shows 0 out of 95 VirusTotal detections, indicating no active signatures at major security vendors. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is only weeks old. The use of a legitimate SSL certificate from a trusted provider adds to its deception, making it effective against cursory security checks. As of this investigation, no third-party blocklists have flagged the domain, suggesting an ongoing, undetected campaign. Any user who has visited stvaults.com should immediately cease interaction with the site and scan their device for unauthorized cryptocurrency transactions or suspicious network activity. Users are advised to check their wallet transaction histories for any outgoing transfers not initiated by them and revoke any unauthorized smart contract approvals using tools like revoke.cash or Etherscan. Clear browser data related to the site and avoid reopening links from emails or messages referencing stvaults.com. Report any suspicious transactions directly to your wallet provider or relevant financial authorities. To prevent future exposure, consider updating your browser’s blocklists via security extensions such as uBlock Origin or Malwarebytes, which can help prevent access to newly registered malicious domains. Remain vigilant of unsolicited offers promising high returns or urgent vault access, as these are common lures in crypto drainer campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260424-838BD9 Favicon MD5: fa824db733acbbde987a3cd95dc22dbb TLS cert SHA-256: c5fde61c9d4eeadb5bf94fc6bc76259ebe38945d93acd7c3caae0be6db02f314 ## 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/stvaults.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=stvaults.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.
