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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 16:33:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:03:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0ea5-c085-730d-9b0c-179516fc493d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/backupkaro.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.backupkaro.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=backupkaro.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/backupkaro.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/backupkaro.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 16:35:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain backupkaro.com is associated with credential theft, posing a significant risk to users. It may impersonate legitimate services to collect sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. The site's title, 'BackupKaro - Phone change? Backup Karo!' suggests a potential luring tactic to trick victims into providing personal details, indicating a focused strategy often seen in credential theft schemes. This domain was registered on June 15, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar that may host potentially harmful domains. Further investigation reveals that the domain is still active, with a VirusTotal (VT) scan indicating that 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged it, confirming its malicious intent. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.208.19, which could be part of a larger infrastructure commonly utilized for phishing attacks. If users have visited backupkaro.com, it is crucial to take immediate action. Users should change any passwords entered on the site and enable two-factor authentication on related accounts for an added layer of security. Monitoring financial accounts for suspicious activity is also recommended. If any personal information was submitted, consider reporting it to your local authorities or identity protection services. Being vigilant and reviewing security protocols is essential to mitigate the risk of credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d9f1722e9f99d333926e52afb928ba19 TLS cert SHA-256: c8f4e8573c812089dea809d3df16b068382ceb99eda19e45c1c763773adde7e8 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/backupkaro.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=backupkaro.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
