144818crypto.com: Credential Phishing Site

Analysis of 144818crypto.com shows a newly registered domain (created 2026-07-06) that resolves to 188.114.96.3, an IP owned by Cloudflare (AS13335, United States). The domain uses Cloudflare nameservers leanna.ns.cloudflare.com and rustam.ns.cloudflare.com and serves HTTP 200 responses over HTTP/3. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 profile, indicating a valid HTTPS endpoint. Infrastructure profiling reveals a web stack built on Node.js, React, Next.js and bundled with Webpack, with Cloudflare Browser Insights enabled. The site is listed on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. VirusTotal reports five detections out of ninety-one scanners. Registration data points to CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED as the registrar. The domain is classified as a credential-phishing campaign targeting Crypto.com users, consistent with the brand_impersonation label. The current status is active. Uncertainties include the exact content served to victims and any additional command-and-control infrastructure, which have not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should add the domain and its IP to blocklists, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers, and enforce credential-validation controls for Crypto.com login flows. Continuous re-scanning is advised to capture any changes in detection scores.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b01fe1dce17af759b9ac9c142dde4468661f743d60e812ed9b8bad7154a24ea

## 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.
