Credential Harvesting Detected at api.sboost.cn

api.sboost.cn was observed returning HTTP 200 on 2026-07-19. The domain is currently listed as active and has been added to at least one public blocklist. PhishDestroy has already blocked it. VirusTotal scans show that three of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. No additional metadata such as ASN, hosting country, or associated malware kit is available in the current intelligence set. The exact payload or credential‑stealing technique employed by the site has not been publicly disclosed, and the targeted brand or service remains unidentified. Defenders should add api.sboost.cn to DNS and proxy blocklists, monitor outbound connections for requests to the host, and consider correlating logs for any user agents that interact with the domain. Continuous re‑scanning with VirusTotal and other sandbox services is recommended to detect any evolution in the threat. Given the active status and existing detections, the domain should be treated as high‑risk until further analysis confirms benign behavior.

## 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.
