Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gov-icloud.com as an active Apple brand impersonation domain designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. This fraudulent site mimics Apple's iCloud branding to trick visitors into entering login credentials or payment details, potentially leading to account takeovers or financial theft. This domain poses a significant threat due to its deceptive branding and active distribution. VirusTotal reports 22 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, while its registration details reveal a recently created domain (February 04, 2026) through Gransy, s.r.o. The site resolves to IP 31.148.99.121 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, further increasing its credibility among unsuspecting users. If you visited gov-icloud.com, immediately check for unauthorized access to your Apple account and change your password using Apple's official website. Avoid entering any personal or payment information on this domain. Use a reputable antivirus tool to scan your device for potential malware. Report the domain to Apple's fraud reporting system and consider blocking it in your browser to prevent future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 551eb03772fd5bca9d40db1d0f3a23c4a1eb72310f6e693efee4dbf54f72a7f1 ## 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/gov-icloud.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gov-icloud.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.
