Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is cobaltmetric.com a Phishing Site? The domain cobaltmetric.com was registered on 13 July 2026 through Ultahost, Inc. and is hosted on the IP address 188.114.96.3, which is served by Cloudflare DNS (fatima.ns.cloudflare.com, memphis.ns.cloudflare.com). Within two weeks of creation the domain appeared on a single security blocklist and has been added to the PhishDestroy watchlist, indicating that it is being used for phishing‑related activity. VirusTotal records show that the site has been scanned by 91 independent antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of those engines flagged the content at the time of analysis, but the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page‑title information are currently available, limiting visibility into the exact payload delivered to victims. The rapid creation‑to‑blocklist timeline and the association with a known phishing blocklist suggest that the domain is likely being leveraged for credential‑harvesting or fraudulent login pages targeting unsuspecting users. Defenders should proactively block traffic to 188.114.96.3 and to cobaltmetric.com at the DNS or firewall level, monitor outbound connections for any data exfiltration to that host, and consider adding the domain to internal phishing detection feeds. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised, as threat actors may later modify the site to evade current detections. Until further forensic analysis of the web content is performed, the domain should be treated as high‑risk for credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-6F2FFD Favicon MD5: d8bb0f1faf247ea9e28473508e19eadc TLS cert SHA-256: 8512c2ebe0b13ca92780a1c62334974cc6a38ca6a7da330c371bfe934e76f6c9 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cobaltmetric.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cobaltmetric.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
