Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vertexdigitalcapital.com, is flagged as a fraudulent investment portal designed to deceive users into disclosing financial credentials or transferring funds under false pretenses. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate financial service providers, presenting itself as a platform for digital asset management. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was operational long enough to engage potential victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 2, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolved to the IP address 37.49.229.75, a host previously linked to multiple phishing campaigns. Detection metrics show the domain was flagged by 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while appearing on two independent security blocklists. Additionally, the domain was referenced in four threat intelligence pulses on a major open-source threat exchange platform, further corroborating its malicious intent. The current offline status does not eliminate the risk, as domains of this nature are often reactivated or repurposed. Organizations and individuals are advised to proactively block the domain and its associated IP at the network perimeter. End users who may have interacted with the site should immediately revoke any credentials shared, monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity, and report the incident to relevant fraud authorities. Security teams should treat this domain as high-risk and include it in real-time monitoring for any signs of re-emergence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260606-767B50 Favicon MD5: 2853f477a09cd4f28c0f3e4f3cdd5d70 TLS cert SHA-256: 8c2632efcff85440a88497feb6ee033d50d97837bef57d0abc2b81a249796aab ## 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/vertexdigitalcapital.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vertexdigitalcapital.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.
