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: 2026-02-07 15:36:52 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-31 05:20:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable 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/019c3818-fbfc-710f-b0d9-8b0487e1131b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ig-app-clone.vercel.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ig-app-clone.vercel.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ig-app-clone.vercel.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ig-app-clone.vercel.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ig-app-clone.vercel.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-18 23:56:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ig-app-clone.vercel.app as a high-risk generic phishing domain designed to deceive users by cloning Instagram's interface. This threat poses significant danger to users' personal data and credentials. This domain, created recently in February 2026, is registered through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolves to IP 64.29.17.131. It appears on one security blocklist, has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, and is flagged by 20 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, confirming its malicious nature. Users should avoid visiting or submitting any information on this site. PhishDestroy notes the domain remains active, urging vigilance and recommending blocking or blacklisting measures until the threat is mitigated. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 20/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: f44c8d8489d20c788f8188fc79d65fe85392f0f5f2d2572c06d468e734ab835b TLS cert SHA-256: 4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338 ## 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/ig-app-clone.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ig-app-clone.vercel.app 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.
