# PhishDestroy threat dossier — virtualsventures.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 08:46:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/virtualsventures.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Investment Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: Dynadot Inc Registered: 2025-02-28 Expires: 2026-02-28 HTTP response: 530 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-02-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 05:16:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5b6c-a036-77fa-a7f2-3e0aa48a7e8d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/virtualsventures.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.virtualsventures.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=virtualsventures.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/virtualsventures.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/virtualsventures.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 05:16:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies VirtualSventures.com as a high-risk fake investment scam actively targeting users through deceptive trading platform impersonation. This domain is currently under investigation but remains accessible and unblocked, posing a significant risk to individuals lured by promises of high returns and 'risk-free' trading opportunities. The site’s use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is a common tactic to appear legitimate, while the absence of detection on VirusTotal (0/95 detections) suggests it has evaded initial scanning by security vendors. This domain was flagged with the following technical indicators and metadata: VirusTotal shows 0 detections out of 95 engines as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious by automated systems. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is frequently exploited by threat actors to build trust with potential victims. The registrar is not specified in available data, but the domain is currently active and not listed on major threat intelligence blocklists. The domain’s creation date and IP address are not provided in the current dataset, limiting visibility into its operational timeline. Trust scores are unavailable due to the lack of detections, underscoring the challenge in early detection for this emerging threat. To mitigate the risk posed by VirtualSventures.com, users should immediately avoid interacting with the site or providing any personal or financial information. Organizations should consider blocking the domain at the network level using DNS filtering tools and report the domain to threat intelligence platforms such as VirusTotal, URLVoid, or PhishTank to aid in collective defense. Security teams are advised to monitor for any associated IP addresses or subdomains and update firewall rules to prevent outbound connections to this domain. Additionally, users who suspect they have engaged with the site should run a full antivirus scan, reset passwords for financial accounts, and consider placing credit freezes to prevent potential fraud. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2025-02-28 - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 6/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/virtualsventures.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=virtualsventures.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.
