No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-29 02:36:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 00:50:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 01:47:33 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f10cd-30d7-756a-8e07-a74a34dca625/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/findlapple.us crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.findlapple.us Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=findlapple.us AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/findlapple.us URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/findlapple.us/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 02:46:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, findlapple.us, is flagged as an active credential theft phishing infrastructure targeting Apple users. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to impersonate Apple’s official login portals, likely to harvest user credentials, payment details, or other sensitive information. The use of a deceptive domain name combining "find" and "apple" suggests an attempt to exploit users searching for Apple support or services, a common tactic in brand impersonation campaigns. No evidence of a crypto drainer kit was observed, but the domain’s structure aligns with credential harvesting operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain is detected by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate but not universal recognition as malicious. It resolves to the IP address 162.144.180.56, a host that may be shared with other malicious domains. The domain’s SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its free and automated issuance process. Registration details, including the registrar and creation date, were not provided in the initial data, but the domain’s active status suggests recent deployment. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status is not specified, though the 6/95 detection rate implies partial blocklisting across security platforms. Current status of findlapple.us remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation at this time. The elevated risk level is justified by the domain’s operational status, brand impersonation tactics, and partial detection by security vendors. Users are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for associated indicators, including the IP 162.144.180.56. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to include this domain and educate users on recognizing brand impersonation attempts. Given the domain’s active status, continued monitoring is recommended to assess further developments or shifts in infrastructure.

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/findlapple.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=findlapple.us 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.
