No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-02-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 05:39:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-10 08:45:02 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4a1b-33f3-70fd-b427-41fa9db656a0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/apizone.in crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.apizone.in Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=apizone.in AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/apizone.in URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/apizone.in/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 05:44:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, apizone.in, operates as a credential-harvesting portal disguised as a legitimate business automation platform. Analysis indicates the site presents a fraudulent interface mimicking enterprise software solutions, likely targeting corporate users or small business owners seeking automation tools. The page title, 'APIZONE | Business Automation Platform,' reinforces the deception by closely resembling authentic service providers in this sector. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of common frontend frameworks such as Bootstrap and Tiny Slider, which are frequently employed to create convincing replicas of genuine platforms. The presence of Cloudflare further complicates detection, as it obscures the true origin of the malicious activity while providing a veneer of legitimacy through its content delivery and security services. Evidence supporting the malicious classification of apizone.in includes its detection by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a significant indicator of suspicious activity. The domain was registered on February 16, 2024, through Hosting Concepts B.V. dba Openprovider, a registrar often associated with newly created phishing infrastructure. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.137.45 and appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its high-risk status. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services adds another layer of perceived authenticity, which may mislead users into trusting the site. Additionally, the domain has been referenced in four threat intelligence pulses, suggesting active monitoring and reporting by security researchers. Users who have visited apizone.in or interacted with its content should take immediate action to mitigate potential compromise. Any credentials entered on the site must be considered exposed and should be changed immediately across all platforms where they were reused. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any secondary payloads or malware that may have been delivered. Organizations should also review logs for connections to the domain or its associated IP address, 172.67.137.45, and block it at the network level to prevent further access. If financial or sensitive data was submitted, affected parties should monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions and report the incident to relevant authorities or fraud response teams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0082b0ba282b9fa8b098a5ef8eaeec61 TLS cert SHA-256: 6c61e6183797424bb569947b66f7e95e33e82b7eaa912decc62ff5b4ebb94bf2 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/apizone.in/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apizone.in 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
