No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-28 18:38:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-28 17:20:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-30 04:20:20 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa9b6-2608-75c7-82f7-71b4e54ca85a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/indexlaunch.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.indexlaunch.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=indexlaunch.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/indexlaunch.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/indexlaunch.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 18:39:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] indexlaunch.live: Confirmed Phishing Site indexlaunch.live was registered on July 19, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolving to the IPv4 address 216.198.79.1. The domain is delegated to Cloudflare DNS, as shown by the authoritative nameservers mckenzie.ns.cloudflare.com and seth.ns.cloudflare.com. Within days of creation the domain was added to two phishing‑focused blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and both services continue to list it as active. VirusTotal has inspected the domain and 10 of 91 scanning engines reported a malicious verdict, providing independent confirmation of phishing‑related activity. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, or SSL certificate information was supplied, so the presence of HTTPS, certificate issuer, or specific page titles cannot be verified at this time. The combination of rapid blocklist inclusion, partial VirusTotal detection, and the use of Cloudflare’s edge network suggests an operational phishing infrastructure rather than a dormant placeholder. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution for indexlaunch.live and enforce network‑level filtering of traffic to 216.198.79.1. Adding the domain to local URL blacklist, proxy, and endpoint protection policies will reduce user exposure. Because the site is fronted by Cloudflare, direct takedown of the hosting server may be ineffective; reporting the abuse to the registrar NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED with supporting VirusTotal and blocklist screenshots is advised. Continuous monitoring of VirusTotal re‑scans, blocklist status, and any future SSL or page‑title disclosures is recommended to maintain up‑to‑date threat intelligence. Until additional content analysis becomes available, the domain should be treated as a high‑risk phishing vector. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-FD92E2 TLS cert SHA-256: 9acca5a63a81963a57978dfb58dd80b308617b0d64476136d128c6df239e1a00 ## 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/indexlaunch.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=indexlaunch.live 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.
