Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has flagged dev.api.raccoonsearch.com as an active credential phishing domain designed to steal user login details. This site mimics legitimate API endpoints, tricking visitors into entering sensitive information under false pretenses. The domain’s recent activity and low detection rate—currently 10 out of 95 VirusTotal engines—indicate it is actively being used in campaigns to harvest credentials for further exploitation, such as account takeovers or financial fraud. This domain was registered through EuroDNS S.A. on March 30, 2016, and is hosted on IP address 185.149.120.183. Notably, it utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, adding a veneer of legitimacy that may deceive users. Despite these superficial assurances, the domain remains unflagged by security tools, highlighting the need for proactive monitoring and user vigilance. Its age suggests it may have been dormant or repurposed for malicious use, which is a common tactic to evade detection. If you’ve visited this domain, cease any interactions immediately and inspect your accounts for unauthorized access. Reset passwords linked to this site, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and scan your devices for malware. Report the domain to your security team or through PhishDestroy’s portal to help block further abuse. Avoid entering any credentials or personal data on this site, as it may be harvested by attackers. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-3775EF Favicon MD5: 5c25dc4385fe5963f245c0f0dc98b4ca TLS cert SHA-256: dbe8fe291aae59bddd727c70535a4d959b985a7204c23004352b2ac3609b6875 ## 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/dev.api.raccoonsearch.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dev.api.raccoonsearch.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
