Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies test.alpha.abqweather.com as an active crypto drainer designed to trick users into transferring cryptocurrency to attacker-controlled wallets. The domain masquerades as a legitimate weather service (ABQWeather) while hosting malicious scripts that intercept and divert crypto transactions to fraudulent addresses. Security researchers note that crypto drainers often embed wallet addresses directly into the page or inject scripts that modify transaction details in real time, making them particularly dangerous for users attempting to make payments or donations through the site. Users should refrain from interacting with any part of this domain, including subpages or linked assets. This domain was flagged using multiple threat intelligence sources and exhibits several high-risk indicators. It resolves to IP address 185.149.120.183, which has been linked to previous cryptocurrency scams. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a tactic often abused by threat actors to appear legitimate. Notably, test.alpha.abqweather.com was created on August 09, 2000, and registered through ENOM, INC.—a combination frequently used to obscure ownership timelines and avoid early detection. As of the latest check, VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 detection engines flagging the domain, highlighting how rapidly evolving crypto drainers can evade static scanning tools. While currently undetected by signature-based systems, behavioral analysis and network traffic monitoring reveal consistent patterns associated with cryptocurrency interception malware. Users who visited test.alpha.abqweather.com should immediately revoke any active session cookies, clear browser cache, and disconnect wallets or browser extensions that may have interacted with the site. Do not approve any pending transactions or sign messages from wallet extensions after visiting this domain. If cryptocurrency was sent to a wallet address promoted on the site, contact your wallet provider or exchange support to report fraud and initiate a forensic investigation. Monitor all financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider using hardware wallets with transaction simulation features to prevent future interception. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor, browser security teams, and platforms like PhishDestroy to help build detections and protect others. Always verify URLs through official channels and use bookmarks for trusted services—never trust links in emails, ads, or search results. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-67796C Favicon MD5: 60408ec4dff0c9bd0931fc4837a87491 TLS cert SHA-256: 35a3e0093f1b86828f58a3b597764a5139b73165a1f4a3553ec596dfa1bb31f1 ## 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/test.alpha.abqweather.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=test.alpha.abqweather.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.
