Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] web3worldvault.com is a recently active phishing domain that targets cryptocurrency users. It is flagged by 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating some awareness of its malicious nature. The domain is registered with Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and hosted on an IP address associated with Cogent Communications, LLC in the United States. The domain employs cloaking techniques, serving benign content to scanners, which complicates detection efforts. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its free and automated nature. Despite its low VirusTotal detection rate, the domain is already listed on a public blocklist maintained by PhishDestroy, highlighting its potential threat to users. The use of cloaking suggests a sophisticated attempt to evade security measures, making it crucial for users to remain cautious when interacting with cryptocurrency-related sites. web3worldvault.com exploits the typical 24-72 hour window between domain registration and its appearance in antivirus databases, allowing it to operate under the radar of many detection systems. PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline captures such threats during this critical period, providing an advantage in identifying and mitigating risks before they become widespread. This case underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence in combating evolving phishing tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260622-680CC3 Favicon MD5: 8268a94706f8924c6fff3b2725d738a0 TLS cert SHA-256: a2e6521a9124c1e36113fb34709a8d8734814a6179c18e5eb78bca1706ec1e2b ## 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/web3worldvault.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web3worldvault.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.
