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

Fetched:   2026-07-22 09:55:11 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.kometastart01.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 46/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc
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
----------------------------------------------------------------

First reported:    2026-02-26 23:21:22 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 08:21:07 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 10:25:21 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

api.kometastart01.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain api.kometastart01.com is a generic phishing site designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information. It does not impersonate a specific brand or employ a known drainer kit. As of the latest verification, api.kometastart01.com has been taken offline, though it previously posed an elevated risk for credential theft or other fraudulent activity.

Technical indicators for api.kometastart01.com show limited detection but notable red flags. Only 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged the domain, with Gridinsoft assigning a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. It was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc on February 21, 2026, and uses nameservers ns100.webnic.cc and ns101.webnic.cc. No IP address or SSL issuer information is available, and the site returned an HTTP 530 status when accessed.

Users who suspect they interacted with api.kometastart01.com should immediately change passwords for any accounts accessed during the exposure period and enable two-factor authentication where available. Monitor financial and online accounts for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or local cybersecurity authorities to aid in broader mitigation efforts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
