# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kangawoo.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-19 03:19:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kangawoo.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 5 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.97.52.87 (SI, Ljubljana) Hosting org: AS51790 SIEL, d.o.o. Registrar: IONOS SE Nameservers: ns1.livedns.co.uk, ns2.livedns.co.uk, ns3.livedns.co.uk Registered: 2014-11-27 Expires: 2026-11-27 Page title: Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance HTTP response: 503 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2401e343118a9c863959b2f426e12bf4b569649aa41bf37490209820a0fa8991 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.kangawoo.com ## 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: 2014-11-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-18 17:54:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-18 15:59:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-19 04:20:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f75ee-b12a-7397-ab31-eeb6755ad729/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4958e89f-3bab-49ce-8aac-f69acb47aad8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kangawoo.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kangawoo.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kangawoo.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kangawoo.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kangawoo.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-18 18:01:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] kangawoo.com Generic Phishing Alert Analysis of the domain kangawoo.com indicates active malicious infrastructure consistent with a generic phishing campaign. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 185.97.52.87 and is hosted on nameservers ns1.livedns.co.uk, ns2.livedns.co.uk, and ns3.livedns.co.uk, all serviced by the IONOS SE registrar. The domain was created on 27 November 2014 and remains operational as of the report date, July 18, 2026. TLS termination is provided by a Let’s Encrypt certificate currently in its first year of issuance, suggesting the operators maintain a valid HTTPS presence. VirusTotal scans have resulted in 12 of 91 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating a modest but non‑trivial detection rate. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has referenced the domain in five separate threat intelligence pulses, reinforcing its classification as a phishing asset. Despite these indicators, the specific content hosted on the site has not been publicly disclosed, and the exact target brand or credential‑stealing mechanism remains unknown. Defensive recommendations include adding kangawoo.com to blocklists at network perimeters, configuring DNS sinkholing for the associated IP address, and monitoring for outbound connections to the listed nameservers. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s reputation on aggregators such as VirusTotal and OTX is advised, as further detections may surface as threat actors evolve their tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260718-FFF3C4 TLS cert SHA-256: 2401e343118a9c863959b2f426e12bf4b569649aa41bf37490209820a0fa8991 ## 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/kangawoo.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kangawoo.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.
