Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing infrastructure targeting unsuspecting users. Analysis indicates it is designed to mimic legitimate login pages, tricking victims into submitting sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, or financial details. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing, with a focus on broad-scale deception rather than targeting specific organizations or individuals. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain cobalt-drop.tech was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on May 06, 2026, an unusually future-dated registration that may indicate an attempt to evade immediate detection. It resolves to the IP address 193.233.139.68 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy. The domain holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, and AlienVault OTX lists it in one threat intelligence pulse. VirusTotal detection rates show 1/95 security vendors currently flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting limited but growing awareness of its threat. To mitigate risks associated with this phishing domain, organizations and individuals should implement the following measures. Block the domain cobalt-drop.tech and its resolving IP 193.233.139.68 at the network perimeter using firewalls or DNS filtering. Deploy email gateway rules to quarantine messages containing links to this domain, and educate users on recognizing phishing indicators such as mismatched URLs or unsolicited login requests. Monitor for unusual authentication attempts, particularly from credentials that may have been exposed through this infrastructure. Security teams should also review logs for connections to the domain or IP and investigate any associated endpoints for potential compromise. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260627-BAF3CB Favicon MD5: 43535fb4538682f62f86df700dbc7fcc TLS cert SHA-256: b32d72665f9eefe943db5407a42ff7d68c25d5c3416178ee5872a8231e4f92c9 ## 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/cobalt-drop.tech/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cobalt-drop.tech 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.
