Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies violate.metadscredit.com as a high-risk social engineering phishing domain actively hosting malicious content. This domain is engineered to deceive users through impersonation tactics, leveraging social manipulation to extract sensitive information or deploy malware. The presence of an 'Index of /' page without legitimate content further suggests this is a staging ground for credential harvesting or fraudulent campaigns. Immediate action is required to prevent potential compromise. This domain was flagged by 10 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating widespread suspicion of its malicious intent. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on August 19, 2025, and currently resolves to IP 188.114.97.3. Google Safe Browsing has blacklisted the domain under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, while its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, likely to appear legitimate. The combination of recent registration, high detection rate, and trust score exploitation heightens the risk profile significantly. Organizations and users should immediately block violate.metadscredit.com at the network and endpoint levels using DNS filtering and firewall rules. Security teams should investigate any internal DNS queries or HTTP(S) requests to this domain, as these may indicate initial access or follow-on activity from compromised systems. Additionally, users should be warned against interacting with this domain and instructed to report any suspicious communications referencing it. Given the social engineering focus, awareness training highlighting red flags in impersonation attempts is strongly recommended to reduce the likelihood of successful exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6eb4a43cb64c97f76562af703893c8fd TLS cert SHA-256: 17a83b7f67e9416c7d88fa67016a3951a014ad1cb4e01ed0d7047c8182eff393 ## 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/violate.metadscredit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=violate.metadscredit.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.
