No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-17 13:14:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-17 11:16:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-17 15:00:12 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f6fc8-5afe-7278-ac21-c15319b2b097/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9ca18add-296a-476c-99f6-79dabeac1362 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-rho.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-rho.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-rho.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-rho.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-rho.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-17 13:20:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain app-rho.cc was registered on 8 June 2026 through Internet Domain Service BS Corp. It is delegated to the Cloudflare name servers dell.ns.cloudflare.com and ryan.ns.cloudflare.com and resolves to the IPv4 address 158.94.210.56. Google Safe Browsing has listed the site under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, and VirusTotal records show that 4 of 91 scanned security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. The current operational status is active, indicating that the infrastructure is still reachable. No public content analysis is available, so the exact phishing vector, target brand, or credential‑harvesting mechanism remains unknown. However, the combination of recent registration, Cloudflare hosting, and the social‑engineering flag strongly suggests a credential‑harvesting campaign. Defensive recommendations include adding app-rho.cc to URL and DNS blocklists, monitoring outbound connections to 158.94.210.56, deploying sinkhole or redirect controls for the IP, and updating intrusion‑detection signatures to capture the observed Cloudflare name‑server pattern. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as additional telemetry becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260717-5E42D9 TLS cert SHA-256: 9fe56a705cc6aa5ab92e24ee7005dc8fa9c746e69fa2e5c31c424a65ab8ba22d ## 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/app-rho.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-rho.cc 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.
