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: 2025-09-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:04:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:09:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbaf-a6e2-73d9-a888-57c90eb22f77/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/33bfbbb1-5e98-4e69-b77a-9972ffb5a1ff Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/valantis.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.valantis.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=valantis.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/valantis.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/valantis.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:07:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, valantis.finance, is assessed as high-risk and specifically poses a threat of credential theft. The domain's activity is indicative of a sophisticated phishing operation designed to harvest sensitive user information. Analysis indicates that valantis.finance has been detected by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of awareness within the security community. The domain is registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to the IP address 54.215.31.113, which is located in the United States and is part of the AS16509 network operated by Amazon.com, Inc. The domain was created on September 06, 2025, and is currently still active. It appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and has a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may be used to gain user trust. The combination of a recent creation date and a reputable SSL provider, despite the underlying malicious intent, underscores the evolving tactics of phishing campaigns. To mitigate the risk of credential theft associated with valantis.finance, users should avoid clicking on any links or entering personal information on the site. It is recommended to verify the legitimacy of any communication related to this domain through official channels. Network administrators should block traffic to this domain at the firewall level and monitor for any attempts to access it. Additionally, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and regularly updating security awareness training can help protect against such threats. Organizations should also consider deploying phishing detection tools and monitoring user activity for signs of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-6D8137 TLS cert SHA-256: ef932cef8457b84c3415599b7398476a7616bf89431e9f25455922a841b5a888 ## 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/valantis.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=valantis.finance 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.
