No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:14:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-26 13:15:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 04:39:45 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019dc9ec-3314-7455-a31a-0cef312ae0e8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/afb9be56-fe07-42c4-a94f-2ed661fcc0d6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/chatbot-auth.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.chatbot-auth.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=chatbot-auth.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/chatbot-auth.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/chatbot-auth.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:15:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies chatbot-auth.live as an active phishing domain designed to impersonate legitimate chatbot authentication interfaces. The domain employs social engineering tactics to deceive users into entering credentials or sensitive information under the guise of a required login. Initial threat classification places this domain under the 'generic_phishing' category due to its broad targeting and lack of a specific brand impersonation. No known drainer kit or affiliated malware payloads have been detected at this time, though the domain's behavior aligns with credential harvesting operations. Domain registration details reveal a recent creation date of April 24, 2026, registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar often used in bulk low-cost domain purchases. The domain resolves to IP address 185.236.79.9 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting victims. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 detections, indicating a low immediate detection rate, while Google Safe Browsing flags the domain under the 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING' category. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists, suggesting a relatively recent deployment and ongoing operational status. Current status of chatbot-auth.live is marked as 'active' and 'under_investigation', with no active takedowns or blocks in place from major security vendors. The risk level remains undetermined due to the recency of the campaign and low detection rates, necessitating heightened vigilance from users and security teams. PhishDestroy recommends immediate avoidance of this domain and proactive blocking at the network perimeter via DNS or firewall rules. End users are advised to verify website authenticity through official channels and report any interactions with this domain to their respective cybersecurity teams or threat intelligence platforms. The remaining risk is classified as elevated due to the domain's plausible appearance and active campaigning despite low detection scores. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-392ECB Favicon MD5: fb606fe0a27a1c62bdfc48561d908f39 TLS cert SHA-256: 816e4bffc2f513393c61cc976f343412a301f8ecbec93c195be5bd9a31d135d7 ## 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/chatbot-auth.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chatbot-auth.live 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.
