Is instagram-demo-clone-ashit-sinha.vercel.app a Phishing Site

Analysis indicates that instagram-demo-clone-ashit-sinha.vercel.app is an active phishing domain targeting Instagram users. As of July 19, 2026, the domain remains operational with an HTTP 200 status, confirming its accessibility. It is flagged by two independent security blocklists and blocked by PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, both of which specialize in phishing detection. VirusTotal data shows that 13 out of 91 security vendors classify this domain as malicious, reinforcing its high-risk classification.  The domain's structure, including 'instagram-demo-clone' in its subdomain, suggests an attempt to impersonate Instagram's branding, though the exact content of the site has not been analyzed for visual or functional mimicry. No specific phishing kit or additional infrastructure details (e.g., ASN, hosting country) are currently available. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed phishing threat and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or proxy level. Given its active status and multi-vendor detection, users should be advised to avoid interacting with this domain, and security teams should monitor for related indicators of compromise in network logs or endpoint telemetry.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cf674abf3dd55b41bee7389c4225a7a4
TLS cert SHA-256:      ee54cb11f16cc311b3acbae57f8fbb03f338c1b2a20de72722c3eafd0dae0140

## 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.
