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: 2021-11-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 23:21:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 21:23:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 18:42:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:18:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb368-d817-7608-bd25-4e12f62424a1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5dc60530-e127-4b3c-b0f0-97e4559c1fa4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web3leaders.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web3leaders.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web3leaders.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web3leaders.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web3leaders.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 15:34:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, web3leaders.com, is actively engaged in Web3.0 brand impersonation phishing, targeting users with fraudulent decentralized web services. The domain remains operational and poses a high risk to individuals interacting with blockchain or cryptocurrency platforms. No legitimate affiliation with Web3.0 initiatives has been verified, and the site is designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials or transferring digital assets. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on November 24, 2021, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.145.208, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.). Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain as malicious, with 4 out of 95 engines detecting it as a phishing threat. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). Infrastructure review confirms the site is still active, with a page title of 'web3.0' reinforcing the impersonation theme. Current status remains active, and users are advised to treat this domain as hostile. Immediate mitigation steps include blocking the domain and its resolving IP (172.67.145.208) at the network perimeter, updating endpoint protection rules to flag the domain, and alerting users to avoid interaction. Organizations should monitor for credential theft or unauthorized transactions linked to this domain and conduct retrospective log analysis for prior exposure. No legitimate use case has been identified, and continued monitoring is recommended until takedown is confirmed. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260610-9A99E8 Favicon MD5: 27aba8ac6f6872101593aac62c777a00 TLS cert SHA-256: 7b865ed9fd6b6256225912d9b576a16838523eb782ce3be857cdfcf1379916e4 ## 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/web3leaders.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3leaders.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.
