Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] x-takedown-alerts.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis indicates that x-takedown-alerts.com was registered on 15 July 2026 through Namecheap Inc and is currently active. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 162.255.119.161 and is served by the authoritative name servers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. VirusTotal reports that two of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting the presence of malicious payloads or phishing infrastructure. The short age of the domain combined with a high risk rating aligns with a generic phishing campaign. No publicly available content, page title, or brand targeting has been disclosed, so the specific luring technique and victim profile remain uncertain. Defenders should consider immediate DNS‑level blocking of the domain and its associated IP address, incorporate the host into endpoint and email security deny lists, and monitor for any sudden changes in the DNS records or additional hosting infrastructure. Ongoing threat‑intel collection is recommended to capture any future payloads or associated command‑and‑control endpoints that may be linked to the observed IP. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260717-E92E1E ## 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 (operator 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-takedown-alerts.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=x-takedown-alerts.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
