cognidrive.xyz: Confirmed Phishing Site

The domain cognidrive.xyz is currently reachable, returning HTTP 200 responses, which confirms an active web presence. It has been added to a security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, indicating that it has been observed delivering phishing‑related traffic. VirusTotal records show that 91 scanning engines have examined the site, and none have reported a detection; however, the absence of detections does not constitute evidence of safety and the payload or page content has not been publicly disclosed. No additional metadata such as hosting ASN, geographic location, or targeted brand is available in the current intelligence set, leaving the exact campaign purpose and victim profile unknown. Defenders should treat cognidrive.xyz as hostile: implement DNS‑level deny rules, include the domain in web‑proxy deny lists, and monitor outbound connections for any attempted communication. Periodic re‑scanning on VirusTotal or similar platforms is advised to capture any future changes, and any observed traffic should be reported to relevant threat‑sharing feeds.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b8df1fba74698e4dbb99ca7a7bc9bc4d9ae6ed06f41abe53326f36a1244d2bc4

## 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.
