Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing site targeting users seeking Sybil-proofing solutions for token launches or airdrops. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive victims by mimicking legitimate security tools, likely harvesting credentials, wallet keys, or deploying malicious smart contracts under the guise of "Sybil-proofing." The page title, "SybilScan — Sybil-proof your launch," reinforces this social engineering tactic, exploiting the urgency and technical complexity of Sybil resistance in decentralized ecosystems. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the phishing classification. The domain sybilscan.xyz was registered on May 11, 2026, through Name.com, Inc., with an anomalous future creation date suggesting potential domain squatting or registration manipulation. It resolves to IP address 216.150.16.1 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to simulate legitimacy. Detection engines report 1/95 security vendors flagging the domain on VirusTotal, while it appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The site uses Vercel hosting and enforces HSTS, which may be leveraged to evade basic security checks. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, further corroborating its malicious intent. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end users and network defenders. Users should avoid interacting with sybilscan.xyz, particularly refraining from connecting wallets or entering credentials. Network-level protections should include DNS filtering to block resolution of the domain and its associated IP, 216.150.16.1. Security teams should monitor for phishing campaigns referencing "Sybil-proofing" or "launch protection" and correlate activity with the domain’s SSL fingerprint and hosting provider. Given the anomalous registration date, further investigation into the registrar’s abuse handling is warranted. Decentralized application (dApp) platforms should preemptively warn users about this threat, especially during high-profile token launches where Sybil attacks are commonly discussed. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260626-2BB1AF Favicon MD5: 3df890c5434ea4936fcfc033451c8e24 TLS cert SHA-256: 62b7e213ef7d1e20ed2d891610720266cf5e91613769241b2afba8a35b0927db ## 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/sybilscan.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sybilscan.xyz 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.
