cow.limited was observed returning HTTP status 502 on 2026-10-01, a result that provides a dated record of its response at that time. The domain was first observed on 2026-09-13 and is registered with Tucows Domains Inc. as of 2025-08-14.
Recorded Evidence
A PhishDestroy internal listing for cow.limited is recorded. OTX documented 5 pulses on 2026-09-21. VirusTotal reported 6 detections from 89 scanners on 2026-09-21. The HTTP check on 2026-10-01 recorded status 502.
Interpretation
The evidence from PhishDestroy, OTX, VirusTotal, and the HTTP check reflects observations made on different dates, which means each source provides a snapshot of cow.limited at a distinct point in time. Comparing these records requires careful attention to the timing of each observation, as the status and detections may change between checks.
Recommended Actions
When reviewing cow.limited, retain the dated records from PhishDestroy, OTX, VirusTotal, and the HTTP check for future reference. Record any new observations with their dates to track changes over time. Avoid submitting sensitive information to cow.limited during review, and always compare subsequent records to the preserved evidence for consistency and context.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
