No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 03:42:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 11:29:34 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2914-214f-77cc-9258-49215b6ad27f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/verticefundex-it.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.verticefundex-it.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=verticefundex-it.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/verticefundex-it.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/verticefundex-it.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 03:43:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] verticefundex-it.com has been flagged as an active crypto drainer domain designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets or revealing private keys. This domain mimics legitimate investment platforms, luring victims with false promises of high returns or exclusive financial opportunities. Once interacted with, crypto drainers silently drain connected wallets by exploiting smart contract approvals or tricking users into signing malicious transactions. The domain’s recent creation, lack of security detections, and suspicious infrastructure strongly indicate malicious intent, making it a high-risk threat for cryptocurrency users. PhishDestroy identifies several alarming technical indicators about verticefundex-it.com. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, a server with no positive detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan (0/95). It was registered on May 07, 2026—an unusually recent date suggesting opportunistic malfeasance—through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. The site holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which attackers often exploit to appear legitimate. These factors collectively place verticefundex-it.com in an elevated risk category despite its current low detection rate. Users who have visited verticefundex-it.com or interacted with its pages should take immediate action to protect their assets. Do not connect any cryptocurrency wallets or enter private keys on this site. If you signed any blockchain transactions, revoke suspicious smart contract approvals using tools like Revoke.cash or Etherscan’s token approval checker. Clear browser cache and cookies, then run a malware scan. Report the domain and any wallet transactions to PhishDestroy using the unique seed c6ecbf for tracking and blacklisting. Stay vigilant and avoid similar investment-related domains promising unrealistic returns. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 51ef3b344a3491ba956860bebe8eaef0 TLS cert SHA-256: c6125b556f355319f5d35bb7122576aefdfc49a54df95eb33f64edf358c53765 ## 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/verticefundex-it.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=verticefundex-it.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.
