# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cowsvap.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 00:11:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cowsvap.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 47/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.25.81.58 (US, Boston) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: Devexpanse Ltd d/b/a Regery.com Nameservers: sandra.ns.cloudflare.com, venkat.ns.cloudflare.com Page title: 409 Conflict ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-17 08:39:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 06:50:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019956d3-845e-744f-8d86-3d01bbed53ad/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cowsvap.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cowsvap.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cowsvap.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cowsvap.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cowsvap.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:57:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has detected cowsvap.finance as a low-risk phishing domain. Phishing threats, even at low risk, can lead to compromised credentials or personal data exposure, making awareness essential for all internet users. This domain was involved in generic phishing attempts but has since been taken offline, reducing immediate threat potential. The domain cowsvap.finance was registered through Devexpanse Ltd, operating under Regery.com, and resolved to the IP address 82.25.81.58 during its active phase. It appeared on three security blocklists, indicating suspicious activity, although only 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged it, suggesting limited but credible detection. The domain displayed a page titled "409 Conflict," often associated with server errors or misconfigurations. Users are advised to remain cautious and avoid interacting with suspicious URLs similar to cowsvap.finance, especially those related to financial or cryptocurrency services. Even though the domain is offline, phishing campaigns can re-emerge under different domains or URLs. Implementing standard security practices such as running updated anti-malware software, scrutinizing unexpected emails, and verifying site legitimacy before entering credentials will help mitigate phishing risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 1612eafbfb98b5d3d35774eddb6b4819b56d706e75d8d1027961ac8899cbc95d ## 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/cowsvap.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cowsvap.finance 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.
