Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vertex-wallet.pages.dev as an active crypto drainer targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain is currently under investigation with no confirmed brand impersonation, and there are no updates on takedown efforts. The investigation remains ongoing as threat intelligence teams assess the scope and impact of this operation. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, and the domain was created recently with no confirmed blocklist entries. Trust scores remain uncalculated due to the ongoing investigation, and no specific creation date is publicly available yet. Users are advised to avoid interacting with vertex-wallet.pages.dev. If exposure has occurred, immediately revoke any unauthorized cryptocurrency wallet connections and transfer remaining funds to a secure wallet. Report the domain to relevant authorities such as Google Safe Browsing or local cybercrime units. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 551521f4cfb9f93c40c1658ce43fddbf4a8b58158c0047eaf45ea4d56ba601c7 ## 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/vertex-wallet.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vertex-wallet.pages.dev 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.
