No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-11-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 14:42:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 12:51:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 06:17:25 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f22d8-c5c7-7223-9477-71ef50c9571e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8b33aeb2-2f5e-45a3-8684-4c7a755d3b79 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tmodloader.pro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tmodloader.pro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tmodloader.pro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tmodloader.pro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tmodloader.pro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 14:46:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is currently under investigation for generic phishing activity targeting users of the Terraria modding community. The site presents itself as an official tModLoader distribution platform, using the page title 'tModLoader - Official Terraria Modding Platform | Free Download 2025' to establish credibility. Analysis indicates this is likely a fraudulent copycat designed to distribute malicious payloads or harvest credentials under the guise of a legitimate modding resource. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on November 25, 2025, through Spaceship, Inc., and resolves to IP address 104.21.8.222. Despite having a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, the domain appears on one security blocklist (Maltrail) and shows 0 detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The creation date is unusually recent for an 'official' platform, and the lack of prior reputation or community references further supports the phishing classification. Users should avoid interacting with tmodloader.pro and verify mod downloads through established channels such as the official tModLoader GitHub repository or trusted modding forums. Organizations should add the domain (tmodloader.pro) and its resolving IP (104.21.8.222) to network blocklists. If credentials were entered on this site, reset passwords immediately and monitor for unauthorized activity. Security teams should treat any binaries downloaded from this domain as malicious until proven otherwise, given the high likelihood of trojanized mod packages. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260702-D91291 Favicon MD5: dead563416598a8ef8a67cec413f25ab TLS cert SHA-256: 05631e749440eccde84097e6e3c5e08f7ea4b573a0cae33561a94485182a9033 ## 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/tmodloader.pro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tmodloader.pro 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.
