# PhishDestroy threat dossier — w3keyguardlayer.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 11:37:10 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/w3keyguardlayer.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Phishing kit: Staking Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.81.14 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: , ns19.asurahosting.com, ns20.asurahosting.com Registered: 2026-02-24 Expires: 2027-02-24 Page title: web3 - Secure W3 Wallet HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: YE2 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: REPORTS FILED AND IGNORED — NameSilo, LLC did not act on these notifications. Domain still online. Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-07-27 06:12:42 UTC Days since first notice: 2 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] w3keyguardlayer.com — Phishing Investigation Report Analysis of w3keyguardlayer.com shows that the domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal records indicate the domain was submitted to 91 scanning engines; none of the engines returned a positive classification at the time of analysis. The absence of detections does not imply benign intent, especially given the domain’s appearance in phishing‑related blocklists. No public WHOIS data, registrar information, or registration dates have been disclosed in the available intelligence, and no IP address, autonomous system number, or hosting provider details have been extracted. Likewise, SSL certificate parameters, HTTP response codes, and page‑title metadata have not been published, preventing a deeper content‑level assessment. The limited observable footprint suggests that the adversary may be employing fast‑flux or disposable hosting, or that the domain is newly registered and has not yet attracted broader scanner attention. Defenders should continue to enforce existing phishing‑filtering rules, add w3keyguardlayer.com to local deny lists, and monitor for any emergence of TLS certificates, DNS changes, or new detections from additional scanning services. Ongoing telemetry collection, especially from web proxy logs and endpoint detection platforms, will be essential to confirm whether the domain is used in credential‑harvesting campaigns or other malicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1785125558-w3keyguardlayer ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/w3keyguardlayer.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=w3keyguardlayer.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
