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: 2026-06-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 18:46:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 19:39:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:18:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed679-ac23-7279-985b-1089a391d9aa/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6f21a4c9-0f4f-45b4-ab5e-9c02e90406d3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/taefux.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.taefux.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=taefux.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/taefux.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/taefux.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:33:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain taefux.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Base, and appears to be a crypto drainer. This scam site is designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. Technical indicators suggest that taefux.com has a VirusTotal score of 12/95, was registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.202.49. The domain was created on June 10, 2026, and has an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1. It currently appears on 1 security blocklist, indicating a potential threat to users. As of the latest update, taefux.com remains active, posing a high risk to users who may unknowingly interact with the site. PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a confirmed scam site, and users are advised to exercise extreme caution and verify the authenticity of any website before providing sensitive information. Despite the high risk, users can take response actions to protect themselves, such as being vigilant when clicking on links and verifying the legitimacy of websites before interacting with them. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-8F1216 Favicon MD5: 095b185e288ed8e4d934ac78fe6a4e2e TLS cert SHA-256: ce6a7008f21eb031bb4cb4da061d9e90b4af55e9f9cdecf1645ca1e4db5b0d54 ## 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/taefux.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=taefux.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.
