No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-08 10:10:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-07 10:28:39 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-25 16:45:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:36:52 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019ea19e-1090-703a-b591-01c3f6da3957/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/81e6db88-ad7b-4a68-83cd-df59a874549d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/adoptmekorea.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.adoptmekorea.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=adoptmekorea.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/adoptmekorea.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/adoptmekorea.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:39:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies adoptmekorea.online as a site that poses a generic phishing threat, which means it attempts to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant risk to users who may have interacted with it, and it was registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. The fact that adoptmekorea.online appears on 1 security blocklist and has been taken offline suggests that its malicious activities have been detected, and with its SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, it may have appeared trustworthy to some users, but the presence of 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX reveals its true nature. If a user visited adoptmekorea.online, they should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as the site's generic phishing nature makes it a potential conduit for various types of cyber threats, and with its current offline status, it is fortunate that no further damage can be done, but users should still be cautious and report any incidents to the relevant authorities, considering the domain resolves to IP 216.198.79.65 and was previously active as the Adopt Me Korea Server. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260607-9967BF Favicon MD5: 7948fba7bccd1aacb6b7ad9993ea79c7 TLS cert SHA-256: e7f3188d57aa3d4c851a06c07861ac600cc538f2cda9912549c3507f05184630 ## 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/adoptmekorea.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=adoptmekorea.online 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.
