# PhishDestroy threat dossier — synpools.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 10:07:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/synpools.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 48/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.133.67 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-07-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 16:19:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 10:30:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f37cb-14c3-715b-9a2f-52ecde0020d6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/synpools.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.synpools.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=synpools.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/synpools.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/synpools.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 16:56:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, synpools.xyz, operates as a crypto drainer phishing site designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. The site likely presents itself as a legitimate cryptocurrency service or wallet interface, tricking visitors into connecting their wallets or entering private keys. Once compromised, funds are automatically transferred to attacker-controlled addresses without the victim's consent. Crypto drainers are particularly dangerous due to their irreversible nature, leaving victims with no recourse for recovery. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on July 3, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with malicious infrastructure. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting limited but growing detection. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and remains active, posing an ongoing threat to users who may encounter it through phishing links or malvertising campaigns. If you have visited synpools.xyz or interacted with its content, immediate action is required. Disconnect any connected wallets from the site and revoke all associated permissions using a trusted wallet management tool. Scan your device for malware using updated security software to ensure no additional compromise has occurred. Monitor your cryptocurrency wallets for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring remaining funds to a new, secure wallet. Report the domain to relevant security platforms to aid in broader threat mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b442bc79828b122e65fa69cbe00da1d3 TLS cert SHA-256: 52217bfa80f24c1df070420b221a57e371404af33c61619425b4501f6a3e4240 ## 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/synpools.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=synpools.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
