No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 11:20:45 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:21:12 UTC (STALE — 55 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-02-27 07:12:13 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 55 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 55 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c4b7e-b359-7399-8359-b6b80e0af5cb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/006da92d-79c6-4d86-8d2b-b3f13093e8bd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:49:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com as a low-risk delivery scam domain targeting unsuspecting users with fraudulent backup services. The site masquerades under the guise of Web3 secured backups to lure victims. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, via Dynadot Inc and resolved to IP address 163.61.188.2. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by a small number of security vendors. The infrastructure suggests a limited scope of operation. Currently, the domain is offline and no longer active. Users are advised to remain cautious of similar phishing attempts and verify backup service legitimacy before engaging. Continued vigilance is recommended to avoid delivery scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-79FFBC Favicon SHA-256: 826c1c8429a1d696efe8e3dde929d5007a3dbf00163fd60c256b59f7e94403c5 TLS cert SHA-256: c5dbff2add76d071192559e3576cf7e755a79adaa3884fe98792807d32ebc228 ## 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/web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3securedbackups.com.strongholdmax.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.
