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: 2025-12-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-22 20:09:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-22 18:17:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef084-95b1-76a8-98c5-9e4e18e667a2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bea5e9df-7146-44da-8119-eaf569149e60 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web3backupsnetwork.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web3backupsnetwork.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web3backupsnetwork.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web3backupsnetwork.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web3backupsnetwork.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 22:58:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] web3backupsnetwork.com is a phishing domain that has been flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is active and hosted in the United States, with its IP address managed by Sharktech under AS46844. It was registered through Dynadot Inc and has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain was created on December 5, 2025, and PhishDestroy detected it on June 22, 2026. The domain is implicated in blockchain-related scams, as indicated by its inclusion in public blocklists such as Polkadot and Enkrypt. These blocklists suggest a targeted approach towards users involved in cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies. The presence of the domain on multiple blocklists highlights its potential threat to users in this niche. Despite being flagged by only 3 vendors on VirusTotal, the domain's presence on four public blocklists underscores its malicious intent. PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline captures threats like this during their initial deployment phase, offering a critical window for mitigation before widespread antivirus database updates occur. This proactive approach ensures that emerging threats are identified and neutralized promptly, protecting users from potential scams and data breaches. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-4842A9 Favicon MD5: 7a81af8b2713003afb7adabd2c2851aa TLS cert SHA-256: fa8b20c7507255e9052aa2715a7e6962881c3a332b8429dca3e7cfc296a9bd9d ## 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/web3backupsnetwork.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3backupsnetwork.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.
