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

Fetched:   2026-05-18 07:49:13 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/app.cb-connect.net/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21
HTTP response:   530

## 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 23:21:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-18 08:13:58 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 10:25:23 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:10:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies app.cb-connect.net as a generic phishing domain engaged in malicious activity aimed at deceiving users. Classified under medium risk, this domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and is currently active in phishing campaigns. The domain's purpose is to impersonate legitimate services to steal sensitive information from unsuspecting victims.

Technical indicators reveal that app.cb-connect.net appears on two security blocklists, underscoring its malicious reputation within the cybersecurity community. VirusTotal analysis shows that 9 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as suspicious or harmful. This partial detection suggests evolving evasion tactics or limited visibility among some scanners. The infrastructure behind the domain supports ongoing phishing operations, with no signs of takedown or mitigation so far.

The domain remains active and continues to pose a threat to users who may encounter it. PhishDestroy urges caution and recommends avoiding any interaction with app.cb-connect.net. Security teams should consider adding this domain to their internal blocklists and monitor for related phishing attempts. Prompt reporting and blocking are essential to mitigate risk and protect sensitive data from compromise.

## 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.
