Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active crypto drainer domain, tala-fund.com, currently engaged in credential theft and cryptocurrency fund misappropriation. The threat actor is actively exploiting brand impersonation tactics to deceive victims into connecting digital wallets and authorizing unauthorized transactions. This campaign poses an elevated risk to cryptocurrency users, particularly those familiar with or holding assets associated with Tala Finance. This domain was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating emerging but confirmed malicious activity. It was registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown on December 23, 2024, and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.9. The domain has received minimal trust scoring due to its recent creation and suspicious behavioral indicators. Given its alignment with known crypto drainer infrastructure patterns, immediate defensive action is warranted. The domain tala-fund.com is currently active and represents a credible threat to cryptocurrency holders. Users are strongly advised to block access to this domain at the network perimeter and update firewall rules accordingly. All cryptocurrency users should verify website authenticity via official channels before any transaction or wallet connection. Report any suspicious wallet interactions or unauthorized fund movements to your security team and relevant blockchain monitoring platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260517-39EA6C Favicon MD5: a07a7f527974a900aa170c08b84ea1b1 TLS cert SHA-256: b78b8ffbb2aeb2ad6a61e4404409dfee1254900a1980f4b06a6fb98654f5fad4 ## 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/tala-fund.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tala-fund.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.
