# PhishDestroy threat dossier — clawdsniper.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 14:54:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/clawdsniper.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 57/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Telegram ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 157.230.58.167 (US, North Bergen) ASN: ASAS14061 DIGITALOCEAN-ASN - DigitalOcean, LLC, US Hosting org: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2026-04-23 Expires: 2027-04-23 Page title: Clawd Sniper — autonomous crypto trading agent on Telegram HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5db6106df1ae0ea4f3e257ddce2a8a1f5066afd11148dfee6f4cd4d75d66918c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.clawdsniper.com ## 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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 23:41:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:21:32 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1a79-d902-764f-9756-ff4df1d0fd9d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e382b877-34f9-4e49-9676-bff48efc8bc1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/clawdsniper.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.clawdsniper.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=clawdsniper.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/clawdsniper.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/clawdsniper.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 23:45:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, clawdsniper.com, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Telegram, a widely recognized messaging platform. The site presents itself as an autonomous crypto trading agent operating on Telegram, a narrative commonly exploited to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent financial schemes or credential harvesting portals. Analysis indicates no direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit at this stage, though the impersonation framework suggests potential for downstream malicious activity, including wallet compromise or phishing for sensitive authentication tokens. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 157.230.58.167, a hosting endpoint with no prior blocklist associations. It was registered on April 23, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently observed in low-reputation domain registrations. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a neutral provider with no inherent malicious connotations. VirusTotal reports 0 detections across 95 security engines, indicating the domain has not yet been flagged by automated scanning systems. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unlisted, and no active blocklist entries were identified at the time of assessment. Current status remains active, with the domain continuing to serve content under the guise of a legitimate Telegram-based trading service. No takedown actions have been observed, and the infrastructure persists without disruption. The absence of detections on VirusTotal or blocklists does not preclude malicious intent, as brand impersonation domains often evade initial scans through benign front-end content. Users are advised to exercise extreme caution, avoid interacting with any financial or authentication prompts, and verify the legitimacy of services through official Telegram channels. Organizations should monitor for credential leakage or unauthorized access attempts linked to this domain, particularly in environments where Telegram-based trading bots are utilized. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-A6607B Favicon MD5: f57005664caa2277ba0ba33582b4d434 TLS cert SHA-256: 5db6106df1ae0ea4f3e257ddce2a8a1f5066afd11148dfee6f4cd4d75d66918c ## 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/clawdsniper.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=clawdsniper.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.
