# PhishDestroy threat dossier — versusdarkmarket.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 04:41:19 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/versusdarkmarket.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 18:05:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-30 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:48:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecc07-09ec-712b-8fb0-35c083f1b8e8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/versusdarkmarket.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.versusdarkmarket.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=versusdarkmarket.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/versusdarkmarket.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/versusdarkmarket.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:36:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified versusdarkmarket.com as a generic phishing domain, currently taken offline. While no specific brand is impersonated, the page title 'Dark Web Markets Links 2026' suggests it may have been used to lure users seeking illicit marketplaces. The domain's elevated risk level and association with phishing activity warrant attention. Technical analysis reveals that versusdarkmarket.com was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating low detection rates during its active period. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on June 15, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3. It appears on one security blocklist and holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1. These indicators, combined with the low vendor flag count, suggest the domain may have evaded many security tools. Given its current offline status, the immediate threat is mitigated, but users who may have visited the site should monitor for potential data exposure or follow-up phishing attempts. PhishDestroy recommends verifying any suspicious domains through its platform and avoiding interaction with unverified dark web market links. Organizations should review logs for any connections to this domain and educate users about the risks of accessing such sites. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 9ecba817c5383ba36bdd320ac87ac477d740f56fe27ebecb9deb063690ee8eff ## 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/versusdarkmarket.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=versusdarkmarket.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
