botlab.rs - Telegram Bot Development Scam

botlab.rs masquerades as a legitimate site for Telegram bot development but serves as a phishing operation. It has been flagged by 2 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. The domain was taken down shortly after being detected by PhishDestroy on June 15, 2026, just two days after its creation.

Despite its short lifespan, botlab.rs managed to appear on three public blocklists, including MetaMask and SEAL, highlighting its potential threat. The domain was registered through Webglobe d.o.o. and hosted on an IP address based in Germany under netcup GmbH's ASN. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of access and cost-free service.

The quick takedown of botlab.rs underscores the effectiveness of early detection systems like PhishDestroy. By identifying and neutralizing threats in the critical window before they proliferate, such systems play a vital role in cybersecurity. The platform risk score of 73/100 further emphasizes the potential danger this domain posed to unsuspecting users. This case exemplifies how phishing domains exploit rapid deployment to target users before traditional antivirus databases can react.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-6D6322
Favicon MD5:       116a3545a71005aeb15c118e1b180cdd
TLS cert SHA-256:      a9bee7f071535909bf322fc6f419a622681b8d26398d7763789de07dcc5acfc6

## 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.
