Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] top-darkmatter.cyou Generic Phishing Site Alert This domain, top-darkmatter.cyou, was registered on July 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and remains active as of July 28, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes Cloudflare nameservers (adel.ns.cloudflare.com and javon.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain is currently flagged by one security vendor on VirusTotal, with only PhishDestroy explicitly blocking it at the time of this report. It appears on a single security blocklist, indicating early-stage detection but limited widespread awareness. No specific brand impersonation, phishing kit, or targeted scam type has been identified in available data. The exact content hosted on the domain has not been analyzed, and no page title or additional contextual indicators are present in the provided intelligence. The use of Cloudflare nameservers is consistent with threat actor tactics to obscure hosting origins and evade takedowns, though this infrastructure choice alone is not conclusive evidence of malicious intent. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its recent registration, minimal detection footprint, and active status. Network-level blocking is recommended for organizations using PhishDestroy or compatible threat feeds. Further monitoring is advised to track additional detections, blocklist expansions, or shifts in hosting infrastructure. If internal logs reveal connections to this domain, investigate for potential credential theft or malware delivery attempts. No actionable brand-specific mitigations can be provided at this time due to the lack of confirmed impersonation targets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-5A720F Favicon MD5: 590778db976e371b12f512d4ca0baaba TLS cert SHA-256: e41ccf38ece23f93727ef32e11cddafe7c7ee30b4f85e9833521cfaf72891794 ## 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/top-darkmatter.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=top-darkmatter.cyou 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.
