================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-22 21:48:46 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.kometasnake.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Hello Internet Corp
Nameservers:     ["ns100.webnic.cc", "ns101.webnic.cc"]
Registered:      2026-02-21

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-02-26 23:24:30 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-22 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-09 11:24:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:35:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies api.kometasnake.com as an active phishing domain categorized under a low-risk level. The threat type is generic phishing, indicating broad attempts to deceive users without targeting specific brands or sectors. Despite the low risk rating, users should remain cautious as phishing attempts can still compromise personal information.

Supporting evidence for this assessment includes the domain’s presence on one security blocklist and a detection by one security vendor out of 95 on VirusTotal. The domain was created recently, on February 21, 2026, suggesting it is a relatively new infrastructure used for phishing campaigns. The limited number of detections and blocklist appearances implies that the campaign is either emerging or not widely distributed yet.

To mitigate risks associated with api.kometasnake.com, users and organizations should maintain up-to-date email filtering and endpoint protection solutions. Vigilance when interacting with unexpected links or requests for credentials remains critical. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain’s status, which remains active, and advises users to report suspicious activity related to it promptly.

## 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.
