No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-26 15:13:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-27 00:22:31 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f9e8e-1cc8-749d-8a0f-85f7283733d7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/appstarlaunch.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.appstarlaunch.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=appstarlaunch.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/appstarlaunch.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/appstarlaunch.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 15:16:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] appstarlaunch.com Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected This domain, appstarlaunch.com, was registered on July 21 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolving to the IP address 104.21.44.20. The authoritative nameservers are boyd.ns.cloudflare.com and sunny.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The domain appears on the PhishDestroy blocklist, which is the sole public blocklist currently indicating malicious activity. VirusTotal analysis shows that one out of ninety‑one scanned security vendors flagged the domain, confirming at least minimal detection by external scanners. No additional public intelligence such as Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information is available at this time, leaving the exact content and phishing tactics unverified. Given the recent creation date, the Cloudflare hosting, the presence on a dedicated phishing blocklist, and the early detection by a security vendor, the domain should be treated as high‑risk. Defenders are advised to add appstarlaunch.com to outbound filtering rules and DNS sinkhole lists, monitor traffic to the associated IP 104.21.44.20 for anomalous patterns, and consider blocking the two Cloudflare nameservers for this specific domain if broader mitigation is required. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended as additional telemetry—such as SSL certificates, HTTP status, or content snapshots—becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f5fd0d1ae59120ea10fd913c127297b4 TLS cert SHA-256: 01504e9dd209565d559390703aa945600eb1e65276ed8f608275057e3aed2899 ## 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/appstarlaunch.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appstarlaunch.com 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.
