# PhishDestroy threat dossier — whitelist.sophon-app.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 06:41:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/whitelist.sophon-app.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: wallet_connect_phish Targeted brand: metamask (and: telegram, tiktok, twitter) Wallet drainer: Angel Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Seclookup, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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.

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: 2025-06-07 (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) First reported: 2025-08-08 11:30:00 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-28 18:46:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988971-7523-72d9-a76e-069c42d75cce/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/whitelist.sophon-app.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.whitelist.sophon-app.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=whitelist.sophon-app.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/whitelist.sophon-app.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/whitelist.sophon-app.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:16:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain whitelist.sophon-app.xyz as a medium-risk crypto drainer threat. This domain, registered recently, was associated with malicious activity aimed at stealing cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. Although currently taken offline, the domain had been flagged by multiple security vendors and appeared on security blocklists, indicating its potential danger to digital asset holders. The phishing operation utilized a drainer kit known as Angel Drainer to compromise victims’ crypto wallets. By posing as a legitimate service under the page title "Aetheris," the domain tricked users into authorizing transactions that drained their cryptocurrency funds. The attackers exploited the trust users place in authentic-looking domains and interfaces to gain unauthorized access to wallets. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with suspicious crypto-related domains like whitelist.sophon-app.xyz. It is crucial to verify any requests for wallet access or transaction approvals thoroughly. Employing robust security practices such as using hardware wallets, enabling multi-factor authentication, and regularly updating security software can help prevent losses. If users suspect they encountered this or similar phishing sites, they should immediately check their wallet activity and report suspicious transactions to their service providers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 31ad7182bc1e07d3eed1b4690f21a32b1a707d71a47351405625a61c1ddabe1b ## 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/whitelist.sophon-app.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whitelist.sophon-app.xyz 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.
