Notification and current-status evidence
The sent-report ledger records the first outgoing report at . A report was sent to the recorded registrar; contact details remain in Domain Intelligence. The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 8 days has elapsed since the first outgoing report.
ICANN RAA §3.18 describes registrar abuse-contact and handling obligations. This section records outgoing timestamps and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Evidence Summary
Analysis of kakaonow.com indicates that the domain was registered through Namecheap Inc on January 25, 2026 and is currently active. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, and the authoritative nameservers are adi.ns.cloudflare.com and todd.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare's DNS infrastructure. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, which suggests that at least one reputable anti‑phishing service has identified malicious activity associated with this host.
VirusTotal records show that the domain was scanned by 91 independent vendors, none of which reported a detection at the time of the scan; however, the absence of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee. No public Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate, HTTP status code, trust‑score, or page‑title information is available in the current intelligence set, and the webpage content has not been captured for further analysis. Consequently, the confidence in the phishing classification rests on the registrar information, blocklist presence, and the PhishDestroy block, rather than on content‑level indicators.
Defenders should consider adding kakaonow.com to perimeter and email filtering blocklists, monitor traffic to the associated IP 188.114.96.3 for potential command‑and‑control or credential‑harvesting activity, and continue to observe updates from threat‑intel feeds for any emerging detections. Where possible, organizations should enforce URL reputation checks and educate users about unsolicited communications that reference the domain, given its recent creation date and active status.
