# PhishDestroy threat dossier — themarketplace-0penasea.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-05 22:43:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/themarketplace-0penasea.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing Targeted brand: OpenSea ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.176.198 (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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ignat.ns.cloudflare.com, liberty.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-18 Expires: 2027-06-18 Page title: Un instant… ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 48f8238b7433468f910d39f141b22c972153c7beeaec35762881e76de3774311 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 20:55:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 12:18:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efafb-91b9-751e-85b1-aad178c8b4dc/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/themarketplace-0penasea.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.themarketplace-0penasea.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=themarketplace-0penasea.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/themarketplace-0penasea.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/themarketplace-0penasea.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 21:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies themarketplace-0penasea.com as an active phishing domain designed to impersonate OpenSea, targeting cryptocurrency users. This domain leverages deceptive branding to trick visitors into entering sensitive credentials or downloading malicious content. The threat is classified as a generic phishing campaign, with attackers exploiting the platform's reputation to harvest login details or payment information. Users who interact with this site risk account compromise, financial loss, or exposure to additional malware. Evidence supporting this advisory includes its zero detections on VirusTotal (1/95 engines), which suggests it remains under the radar of most security solutions despite being active. The domain was registered on June 18, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. Currently resolving to IP 104.21.17.129, this infrastructure may host multiple malicious endpoints, though its low detection rate indicates evasion tactics such as dynamic DNS or bulletproof hosting. The lack of immediate blocklist presence further underscores the need for proactive monitoring. If you visited themarketplace-0penasea.com, immediately cease interactions with the site and avoid entering any credentials or personal information. Scan your device for malware using a reputable antivirus tool and review account activity for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your security team or platform abuse channels. For future prevention, enable multi-factor authentication on all cryptocurrency platforms and verify URLs via official sources before clicking links. Consider blocking the IP 104.21.17.129 at the network perimeter to mitigate further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d1bdd856765cd6a29b6defc653cc1aba TLS cert SHA-256: 48f8238b7433468f910d39f141b22c972153c7beeaec35762881e76de3774311 ## 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/themarketplace-0penasea.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=themarketplace-0penasea.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
