Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy analysts have flagged x-fire.icu as an active cryptocurrency drainer domain under investigation. Security teams note the domain is not associated with a specific brand or drainer kit, making it a generic yet dangerous tool for wallet emptying campaigns. The threat actor leverages deceptive naming to impersonate legitimate services, posing a severe risk to users' digital assets through click-through or malicious links. Given the domain's youth—created on April 25, 2026—and its still-building detection history, the window for proactive blocking remains critical. This domain resolves to IP 172.67.161.98 and currently exhibits 0 detections per VirusTotal’s 95-engine scan. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and secured via a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, enhancing its deception capabilities by enabling HTTPS traffic. The domain remains unlisted in Google Safe Browsing and has not yet been indexed on major threat blocklists, indicating an early-stage deployment likely intended for targeted phishing attacks. These technical indicators suggest a low-profile actor testing operational readiness. The domain is categorized as active with a risk level labeled as under_investigation. Security teams recommend immediate triage: identifying and blocking 172.67.161.98 at the network perimeter, inspecting DNS resolutions for x-fire.icu, and revoking any associated SSL certificates. While detection signatures catch up and blocklists mature, users are urged to verify URLs before interaction and disable auto-execution of wallet scripts in browsers. Remaining risk remains high due to the early stage of threat intelligence coverage. Users should treat any interaction with x-fire.icu as a potential credential or fund theft attempt and report observed activity to PhishDestroy for rapid analysis. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0 TLS cert SHA-256: d8522407b96ca79b4748f5238f7a97159cd8b19fe0618a2750448515ff5745f3 ## 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/x-fire.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x-fire.icu 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.
