Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] distribution-zoobit.com credential harvesting campaign Distribution-zoobit.com was registered on May 08, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain is delegated to Cloudflare name servers damian.ns.cloudflare.com and emerie.ns.cloudflare.com, which conceal the underlying hosting provider. DNS resolution returns the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3. Current threat intelligence classifies the site as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting credential harvesting; the classification is supported by nine of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagging the domain as malicious and by its inclusion on a single external blocklist. The PhishDestroy sink‑hole has already taken the domain offline, yet the registration remains active and the domain continues to resolve, indicating that the adversary may redeploy the site or use the same infrastructure for future campaigns. Publicly available data does not include SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, page title, or any observed brand targeting, limiting the depth of behavioural analysis. Consequently, the precise lure or victim profile cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should prioritize defensive controls that mitigate the observed indicators: block DNS resolution to 188.114.96.3, add the domain to web‑filter and email‑gateway blocklists, and monitor for any additional registrations from the same registrar that resolve to the same name servers. Continuous re‑query of VirusTotal and other multi‑engine scanners is advised to capture any changes in detection rate. Given the recent creation date and active status, organizations should treat any traffic to distribution-zoobit.com as high‑risk until the domain is fully takedown or the hosting infrastructure is confirmed inert. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 8f9db330192bdb1aa41e0ba7010561f9ad9423886cf287b17444ab0277f27717 ## 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/distribution-zoobit.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distribution-zoobit.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.
