Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain x-sparkdex.icu as a generic phishing threat currently under investigation for hosting a crypto drainer kit impersonating a legitimate decentralized exchange interface. The domain was registered on April 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and is actively resolving to IP address 188.114.97.3. The threat type is classified as a generic phishing campaign, leveraging a spoofed interface to deceive users into connecting their digital wallets for unauthorized fund drains. No specific drainer kit variant is identified in open-source intelligence at this time, but the infrastructure is consistent with known cryptocurrency theft operations. This domain exhibits multiple high-risk indicators. VirusTotal currently shows a detection score of 0/95, indicating zero flagging by security engines as of the latest scan. The domain was registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, which has been associated with high-volume domain registrations used in malicious campaigns. The associated IP, 188.114.97.3, hosts multiple suspicious domains and has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at this time. Blocklist aggregators have not yet flagged this domain, which remains within the early stages of its lifecycle but is actively serving content. x-sparkdex.icu is currently active and under active analysis by PhishDestroy. Users are strongly advised to avoid the domain entirely and to verify any SparkDEX-related URLs through official channels. The risk level is officially marked as 'under_investigation,' suggesting evolving threat intelligence. Blocking the domain and IP at the network perimeter is recommended. Remaining risk is considered elevated due to the domain's recent registration, undetected status, and potential for rapid expansion in phishing campaigns. Continuous monitoring is advised as this threat may escalate rapidly. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f39985eeb932ee3d6e0846ea9b88885935594cf2d9c56e2cc1c8d5491dcc0594 ## 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-sparkdex.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x-sparkdex.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.
