No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-13 08:30:29 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:23:25 UTC (STALE — 22 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-01 03:01:12 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 22 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 22 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c5578-dafe-7378-a65f-ab408e52c1c2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/grok44k.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.grok44k.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=grok44k.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/grok44k.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/grok44k.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:13:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies grok44k.digital as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users with offers like "GROK44K Official Site Pre-Sale — Receive Bonuses Up to 200%!" This type of threat is significant because it aims to steal sensitive information by impersonating legitimate services and enticing victims with lucrative bonuses. Users exposed to such domains risk financial loss and identity theft. The domain grok44k.digital was registered on February 21, 2026, via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolved to IP address 172.67.212.176 before being taken offline. VirusTotal analysis flagged this domain by 15 out of 95 security vendors, and it currently appears on one security blocklist, underscoring its malicious reputation. The site is no longer active, reducing immediate threat but maintaining its status in threat intelligence databases. Users should exercise caution and avoid visiting grok44k.digital or providing any personal or financial information if prompted. It is recommended to keep security software updated and rely on trusted sources for investments or bonus offers. Reporting suspicious domains and educating oneself about phishing tactics remain critical defenses against evolving cyber threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 951ed286ca1946f9c99768ef1736f052f93966d115889afa491ce309caf35f55 TLS cert SHA-256: 4e5ae8ae696e4d96b119d94eccdf1380f271020dc6387ce7a52413f90367e23f ## 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/grok44k.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grok44k.digital 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.
