Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] vestings-blockdag.network is an active crypto drainer phishing domain identified by PhishDestroy’s automated threat detection pipeline. The domain masquerades as a legitimate vesting service for BlockDAG (Block Directed Acyclic Graph) blockchain projects and actively harvests cryptocurrency wallet credentials and private keys. Current status remains active with confirmed malicious infrastructure. This domain is flagged by 9 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors as malicious. It resolves to IP 172.67.182.112 via Cloudflare and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was registered on April 29, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, suggesting use of a privacy-friendly registrar to obscure ownership. The domain’s recent creation date and rapid deployment of phishing content indicate an opportunistic campaign targeting crypto investors. Users are strongly advised against visiting vestings-blockdag.network or engaging with any related links. If exposure has occurred, immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions, transfer remaining funds to a new cold wallet, and monitor on-chain activity for unauthorized transactions. Report suspicious addresses to your wallet provider and relevant blockchain explorers (e.g., BlockDAG explorer) with full transaction hashes and wallet IDs. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all crypto accounts and use hardware wallets for high-value holdings. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5cd8084ff8f74cd6ed91678eff44a724 ## 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/vestings-blockdag.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vestings-blockdag.network 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.
