# PhishDestroy threat dossier — instagramconnect.blogspot.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-31 02:51:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/instagramconnect.blogspot.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Instagram ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 142.251.110.132 (US, Mountain View) ASN: AS15169 Google LLC Hosting org: Google LLC Registrar: Google LLC Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: Instagram HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE2 Expires: 2026-09-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a8655b3389b0b6227a0e1906e9eab4700e7cfcef9b3f75233fd4e6cf94f3a129 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - blogspot.ae - blogspot.al - blogspot.am - blogspot.ba - blogspot.be - blogspot.bg - blogspot.ca - blogspot.ch - blogspot.cl - blogspot.co.at - blogspot.co.id - blogspot.co.il - blogspot.co.ke - blogspot.co.nz - blogspot.co.uk ... +55 more ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-29 14:51:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 04:20:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-30 00:18:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fadf5-249e-70fc-b5c3-752839279ae4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/instagramconnect.blogspot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.instagramconnect.blogspot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=instagramconnect.blogspot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/instagramconnect.blogspot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/instagramconnect.blogspot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-29 14:51:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is instagramconnect.blogspot.com a Phishing Site? The domain instagramconnect.blogspot.com is currently flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering, indicating that the URL is being used to lure users into credential‑stealing or other deceptive actions. VirusTotal records show that the domain has been scanned by 91 security vendors; none of those scanners have raised a detection at the time of analysis, which does not constitute a safety guarantee but does suggest that the payload, if any, may be dynamically delivered or otherwise evades static signature checks. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, reinforcing the view that it is being used for malicious purposes. Technical resolution points to the IP address 142.251.127.132, a host that belongs to a large cloud provider and is not uniquely tied to the malicious activity, making IP‑based blocking less precise but still a viable heuristic. Registration information lists Google LLC as the registrar, and the nameserver query returned NS_NOT_FOUND, implying that standard DNS delegation data is unavailable or concealed. The domain’s status is listed as active, meaning it continues to resolve and can be accessed by unsuspecting users. No data on SSL/TLS certificates, HTTP response codes, page titles, or content analysis is currently available, leaving the exact payload and page behavior unknown. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: incorporate it into URL filtering and intrusion‑prevention policies, monitor DNS queries for outbound connections to the resolved IP, and consider adding the domain to internal blocklists. Continuous re‑scanning with dynamic analysis tools is advised to capture any evolving malicious content, and any observed traffic should be logged for attribution and threat‑intel enrichment. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a8655b3389b0b6227a0e1906e9eab4700e7cfcef9b3f75233fd4e6cf94f3a129 ## 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/instagramconnect.blogspot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=instagramconnect.blogspot.com 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.
