Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain xpresale.org has been identified as an active phishing threat specifically targeting users associated with the X Token brand. Classified under generic phishing, this domain aims to deceive victims, potentially stealing credentials or funds through fraudulent imitation. No specific drainer kit was detected from the available intelligence, but the use of the X Token page title indicates a lure focused on cryptocurrency investors. From a technical standpoint, xpresale.org exhibits concerning indicators. The domain was registered recently on April 8, 2026, via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.209.224 and is protected by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend false legitimacy to its phishing efforts. VirusTotal flags it by 4 of 95 security vendors, while it is also listed on two separate security blocklists. Importantly, it is blocked by major security tools such as MetaMask and SEAL, confirming its recognized malicious status. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) also maintains an active block status for this domain. As of now, xpresale.org remains active and continues to pose a high-risk threat to users, particularly those engaging with X Token. Security teams and users should remain vigilant and avoid any interaction with this domain. Blocking the domain across networks and updating endpoint protections with the latest threat intelligence is strongly advised. Despite partial detection coverage, the persistence and recent creation of the domain suggest ongoing phishing campaigns, underscoring the need for continuous monitoring and user education to mitigate potential harm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260420-81C585 Favicon MD5: 1da43cbdc04136b379f69088a67e9d05 TLS cert SHA-256: 72628cfd0d493a28e238616177c6ca051d51c5c47b6295832713ee2eef26a727 ## 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/xpresale.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xpresale.org 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.
