Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies valechemps.live as an active credential theft domain currently propagating fraudulent login forms designed to harvest user credentials. The site is classified under the elevated risk category, indicating active malicious operations likely targeting unsuspecting visitors through deceptive lures such as fake login portals or spoofed service pages. Credential theft remains a primary objective, with threat actors leveraging this domain to capture sensitive authentication details for subsequent account takeovers or identity fraud. This domain was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to IP address 178.16.52.249 and was created on May 09, 2026. The domain uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may mislead users into believing the site is legitimate. Despite being recently registered, the low detection count does not equate to safety—credential theft domains often operate undetected until widespread abuse reports surface. valechemps.live remains active and poses a credible threat to users interacting with its login or authentication interfaces. PhishDestroy advises immediate avoidance of this domain and recommends blocking the IP address 178.16.52.249 at the network perimeter. Users who may have already entered credentials are urged to immediately change passwords on all affected accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Security teams should add the domain and IP to blocklists, scan for lateral movement, and monitor for signs of credential misuse across organizational systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260512-1A4819 Favicon MD5: 23082a609607062b1a7080292955c608 ## 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/valechemps.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=valechemps.live 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.
