# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kangai.lat ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 16:42:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kangai.lat/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.9 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["dns1.lytehosting.com", "dns2.lytehosting.com", "dns3.lytehosting.com", "dns4.lytehosting.com"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Kang AI : Leading the way in AI content creation ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bdc884366a6a3755fa2a81c51c469e5ef9fe20732242875737a473e20b1c30f4 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 00:54:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 21:17:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-15 00:51:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019ea916-4498-702a-b05e-db107cb291f1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kangai.lat crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kangai.lat Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kangai.lat AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kangai.lat URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kangai.lat/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 15:36:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain kangai.lat presents itself as "Kang AI: Leading the way in AI content creation," suggesting a platform for AI-generated content. However, the site poses a threat as a potentially malicious or fraudulent entity, with a low trust rating of 1/100 from GridinSoft and a domain risk score of 66, indicating a high probability of being involved in scams or harmful activity. Technical analysis shows the domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, and SOCRadar. It is listed on one blocklist. The domain is registered with Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.9. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with identifier YR1. No creation date is provided. The site is currently down or offline. Given the low trust score, high domain risk, and multiple security vendor flags, this domain presents a significant risk and should be avoided. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-72F531 Favicon MD5: d9c8c3e9e023b644d7fb9b76a9cd479f TLS cert SHA-256: bdc884366a6a3755fa2a81c51c469e5ef9fe20732242875737a473e20b1c30f4 ## 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/kangai.lat/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kangai.lat 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.
