api.cloaked.gg Phishing Site Alert

This domain, api.cloaked.gg, is presently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing host. Infrastructure analysis shows the endpoint returns HTTP 403, indicating the server is reachable but deliberately denying standard requests, a behavior often observed in phishing infrastructure that limits casual browsing while keeping the backend active for credential harvesting. The domain is listed on one public blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sink‑hole network, confirming that defensive feeds consider it malicious. VirusTotal reports eight of ninety‑one scanning engines flagging the host, providing additional independent corroboration of its illicit nature. The exact brand or service being spoofed has not been disclosed in the available intelligence, and no page‑level artifacts have been published, leaving the specific lure and payload unknown. Defenders should immediately add api.cloaked.gg to DNS‑ and URL‑filtering deny lists, enforce outbound connection blocks to the address space, and monitor for any resolution spikes that may indicate active campaigns. Updating intrusion‑detection signatures to match the observed 403 response pattern and maintaining continuous feed ingestion from PhishDestroy and other blocklists will help contain potential abuse while further investigation clarifies the phishing vector.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       493598e08f8f7607b83349cd128ca747
TLS cert SHA-256:      d371b801ca79f558f9c8a3f3883f81c7fc217af2904d8be358297eba2e60b9e2

## 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.
