No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 08:29:34 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 20:47:14 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c5578-019e-7548-82e4-8b004cf58712/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xa22k.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xa22k.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xa22k.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xa22k.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xa22k.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:28:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies xa22k.digital as a high-risk generic phishing domain primarily used to deceive users with fraudulent incentives. The domain’s page title, "XA22K Official Website Pre-sale Get Up to 200% Bonus!", suggests a typical lure to entice victims into providing sensitive data or engaging in monetary scams. Classified as phishing, this domain targets unsuspecting users with deceptive promotional content. Technical analysis reveals that xa22k.digital was registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, a registrar known for hosting various cyber threats. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and has appeared on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags 14 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a significant detection rate for malicious activity. This combination of new domain age, registrar choice, and detection presence underlines the domain’s malicious intent and infrastructure. Currently, xa22k.digital is offline, reflecting action taken to disrupt its phishing operations. This status reduces immediate risk, but users should remain vigilant as similar domains could emerge. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding this domain entirely and reporting any suspicious interactions related to it. Continuous monitoring of such domains is essential to protect users from evolving phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 951ed286ca1946f9c99768ef1736f052f93966d115889afa491ce309caf35f55 TLS cert SHA-256: 433025b014a69cf183019d0cf288d852dd72f6883b4c02708114cdfa88e0f572 ## 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/xa22k.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xa22k.digital 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.
