No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-12-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-14 23:45:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-15 06:20:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f6296-c8f4-76ca-b6d4-1e76caaa2b19/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crab-12.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crab-12.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crab-12.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crab-12.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crab-12.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-15 00:01:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that crab-12.cc is actively serving HTTP content (status 200) and is protected by a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 profile. The domain resolves to 104.21.40.142, an address owned by Cloudflare, and its authoritative nameservers are faye.ns.cloudflare.com and harvey.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the infrastructure is hosted behind Cloudflare’s edge network. Registration data shows the domain was created on 16 December 2025 and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The only visible page element is the title tag, which reads “krab12.cc | slon12.cc”, a pattern often associated with placeholder or typo‑squatted pages used in phishing campaigns. Although the site’s content has not been captured, the combination of a recent domain, active hosting, cloud‑based delivery, and a title that references multiple unrelated domains aligns with the generic_phishing classification assigned to the indicator. The current risk level is marked under investigation, and the domain remains active. Defenders should consider adding crab-12.cc to block lists, enforce DNS sink‑hole redirection, and monitor for any outbound connections to the associated IP address. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further evidence, such as payload samples or user reports, becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4f6e9d1372efe4fad6a9ba0ec8fa877d993effdd95ba4711b427287e6a5dd866 ## 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/crab-12.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crab-12.cc 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.
