Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is cpcontacts.74-225-254-182.cprapid.com a cPanel-themed Analysis of the domain cpcontacts.74-225-254-182.cprapid.com indicates it is an active phishing infrastructure under investigation as of July 21, 2026. The domain resolves to the IP address 74.225.254.182 and was registered through cPanel Rapid, a platform commonly used for hosting automation. Infrastructure review reveals the domain lacks configured nameservers, a technical anomaly that may suggest misconfiguration or deliberate evasion of standard DNS practices. Despite this irregularity, the domain remains operational and has been flagged on at least one security blocklist, though it is not currently detected by any of the 95 vendors that scanned it on VirusTotal. The absence of detections does not confirm safety, particularly as the domain's content and specific phishing targets have not yet been fully analyzed. Defenders should note that the domain is blocked by PhishDestroy, a specialized anti-phishing service, which may indicate prior malicious activity or heuristic detection. The subdomain structure, including 'cpcontacts' and the IP-based naming convention, suggests an attempt to mimic cPanel-related services, a tactic observed in credential harvesting campaigns. Organizations are advised to monitor network traffic to 74.225.254.182 and consider proactive blocking of the domain pending further analysis. Given the lack of nameserver configuration and the domain's presence on a security blocklist, defenders should treat this infrastructure as high-risk until additional evidence confirms its legitimacy or malicious intent. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 52bad1d125e93b0235a76b87996a82d0 TLS cert SHA-256: 6611075f17c643d8c8b478bcc5468e4a7a1527e68dc3243ed2f2b3814f1e0c17 ## 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/cpcontacts.74-225-254-182.cprapid.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cpcontacts.74-225-254-182.cprapid.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.
