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: 2026-02-19 15:12:27 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 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/019c75cf-03a0-720a-98bf-9335231fbc29/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-18 23:54:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app as a high-risk generic phishing domain masquerading under the guise of "Instagram App 2.0." The domain leverages social engineering to deceive users into divulging sensitive credentials or personal data by mimicking a legitimate Instagram experience. This threat aims to exploit user trust in popular social media platforms through a convincing clone, putting victims at substantial risk of account compromise and data theft. The domain infrastructure includes registration through Tucows Domains Inc., with the domain created recently on February 21, 2026, indicating a new and potentially evolving threat. It resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.195 and is hosted on the Vercel platform, a common choice for rapid deployment of web applications, making the takedown more challenging. VirusTotal analysis flags 21 out of 95 security vendors for this domain, substantiating its malicious nature. Furthermore, the domain appears on two distinct security blocklists and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, highlighting its untrustworthiness. Currently, instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app remains active and is monitored closely by PhishDestroy. Users are strongly advised against visiting or interacting with this domain to prevent credential theft. Security teams should block this domain proactively at network perimeters and educate end-users about phishing risks, particularly those impersonating well-known platforms like Instagram. Reporting suspicious emails or messages leading to this URL will help mitigate the impact of this ongoing phishing campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 21b739d43fcb9bbb83d8541fe4fe88fa 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/instagram-clone-eta-one.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=instagram-clone-eta-one.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.
