Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] usdtminingpool.com Fake Cryptocurrency Site Alert The domain usdtminingpool.com was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on 2025-09-05. It is served by the authoritative name servers launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net and resolves to the IPv4 address 66.29.148.143. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, indicating that threat‑intelligence feeds have identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that 3 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, confirming a low‑to‑moderate detection rate across the vendor ecosystem. The current status reported by the feed remains “active”, meaning the site continues to resolve and host content. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information are available in the provided intelligence, so the presence of TLS, redirection behavior, or the exact content served cannot be confirmed at this time. The lack of additional contextual data such as brand targeting, page screenshots, or sandbox execution results leaves the precise phishing vector undefined beyond the generic classification. Defenders should therefore treat the domain as a high‑risk indicator of a possible cryptocurrency‑related phishing campaign, given the domain name’s reference to “usdt” and “mining”. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain and its resolved IP address to outbound deny lists, updating DNS filtering policies to block both the domain and its name‑server hosts, and monitoring network traffic for any connections to 66.29.148.143. Organizations using web‑proxy or secure web‑gateway solutions should ensure that the blocklist entry for usdtminingpool.com is enforced. Incident response teams should also query internal logs for any authentication attempts or credential submissions that may have been directed to this host. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s detection status on VirusTotal and other aggregators is advised, as additional vendor detections may emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-ED99B6 Favicon MD5: c6875ce782060e480f94d3a460b479f4 TLS cert SHA-256: 6055d6b001645479d78710f20d1189816be11339c2eb7a7686707056cdeed8fb ## 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/usdtminingpool.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=usdtminingpool.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.
