vortxfinances.info Fake Financial Portal Alert

This domain, vortxfinances.info, was registered on July 22, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown and remains active as of July 27, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolves to IP address 13.140.180.106 and uses nameservers ns10.controlpanelnet.com and ns9.controlpanelnet.com. The domain appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and is flagged by one of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a potential phishing threat.

The exact nature of the phishing content is not yet confirmed, as no brand target or specific scam type is identified in available data. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its recent registration, active status, and detection on a security blocklist. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and IP at perimeter security controls, monitoring for connections to 13.140.180.106, and reviewing logs for any internal access attempts.

Further investigation into the hosting provider and nameserver infrastructure may reveal additional linked malicious domains. Given the lack of widespread detection, this domain may represent a targeted or newly launched campaign, warranting heightened scrutiny.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260727-2846FD
Favicon MD5:       9271f5ad5f5fee007a0fa4ecbd0d27b3
TLS cert SHA-256:      d02dfe63a6ce0d60ca0df9ba7b298d6b4f484d7f7087c2a65ab818f4f51fb133

## 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.
