No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-13 17:37:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-13 14:39:24 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 19:40:17 UTC (STALE — 16 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 03:14:09 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 16 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 16 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ce7a0-708d-779d-9a43-14d745e13939/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fe3b7398-3dbe-4e25-b43e-9320dac58cbd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/thesandbox.network crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.thesandbox.network Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=thesandbox.network AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/thesandbox.network URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/thesandbox.network/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:25:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies thesandbox.network as a potentially dangerous domain involved in phishing activities. Phishing is a form of cyberattack where malicious actors impersonate legitimate websites to steal sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details, or personal data. Users encountering such sites risk exposing their private information to cybercriminals, which can lead to identity theft or financial loss. This phishing domain, thesandbox.network, was registered recently and now appears offline after being flagged by multiple security providers. It resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was linked to generic phishing behavior, with a default domain page detected. The domain was listed on three security blocklists and flagged by four security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it had suspicious or malicious intent. Attackers often create such sites to trick users into submitting credentials or downloading harmful content under the guise of a legitimate service. If you have visited thesandbox.network, it is advisable to immediately avoid entering any personal details on the site. Run a full antivirus scan on your device and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Change passwords for any accounts that may be at risk and consider enabling multi-factor authentication where possible. Staying vigilant and using security tools like PhishDestroy can help protect you from falling victim to phishing scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260313-67F529 Favicon MD5: 650b28c6cf1b473aed15ba26bad1da92 TLS cert SHA-256: ed19dab7ccb8c7b6c50aec802aba6963ae2bd2d65bbebe039f5ef5b3d83a8c58 ## 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/thesandbox.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=thesandbox.network 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.
