Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The analysis indicates that the risk level for the domain zelus-system.xyz is currently categorized as under investigation, specifically related to credential theft. There are ongoing concerns due to its association with phishing tactics aimed at harvesting user credentials. Data points reveal that zelus-system.xyz is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 172.67.174.190. The domain was created on June 24, 2026, and despite being reported for phishing, it currently has 0 detections on VirusTotal out of 95 checks. It has been added to one security blocklist, which indicates a recognized threat, yet remains active, warranting caution from users. To mitigate risks associated with credential theft, it is recommended that users avoid entering sensitive information on the domain zelus-system.xyz. Employing robust anti-phishing measures, such as enabling multi-factor authentication for accounts and maintaining updated security software, can further protect against potential attacks. Users should also remain vigilant and report any suspicious emails or messages that direct them to this domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-71580A Favicon MD5: fc4d1e61f10f211dc989c999cb01d410 TLS cert SHA-256: a3e6ba40b9f73065a86074504ec1cc575cd5606c4bd56b71de2a10c71b4bd357 ## 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/zelus-system.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zelus-system.xyz 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.
