# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cbotegrqw.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 13:26:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cbotegrqw.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["huxley.ns.cloudflare.com", "ullis.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-11-02 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 17510a2a0a1d44e0a4374419838f649ddcf89ed6861e2a0d792e24e420f7225e ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-10 21:12:52 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-26 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-24 00:12:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c495b-67d6-764c-bd6c-09540ff58285/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cbotegrqw.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cbotegrqw.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cbotegrqw.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cbotegrqw.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cbotegrqw.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:46:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site, posing a significant threat to users who may inadvertently visit it. The domain is designed to mimic legitimate websites and capture sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data, and financial details. If accessed, it can lead to financial loss, identity theft, and other cybercrimes. Analysis indicates that cbotegrqw.com has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate to high level of confidence in its malicious nature. The domain is registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and was created on February 21, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). Additionally, the domain appears on four security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, ScamSniffer, and SEAL, further confirming its association with phishing activities. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which might be used to gain user trust but does not guarantee the legitimacy of the site. If users have visited cbotegrqw.com, they are advised to immediately change passwords and other access credentials used on the site. They should also monitor their financial and personal accounts for any unauthorized activity. Running a full system scan with an updated antivirus solution is recommended to detect and remove any potential malware. Additionally, users should be cautious of any emails or messages that direct them to this domain and report such incidents to their organization's IT security team. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260210-14BA89 Favicon MD5: 8b6a1c277b15e05f33bced1a05622bf2 TLS cert SHA-256: 17510a2a0a1d44e0a4374419838f649ddcf89ed6861e2a0d792e24e420f7225e ## 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/cbotegrqw.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cbotegrqw.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.
