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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 09:39:32 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019942f9-209b-77e9-829c-21330b3ba485/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/karatdao.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.karatdao.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=karatdao.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/karatdao.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/karatdao.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:38:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies karatdao.top as a domain involved in generic phishing attacks, posing a medium risk to internet users. Phishing remains a critical threat vector, aiming to deceive users into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. Although the domain is currently offline, its prior activity underscores the ongoing need for vigilance against such cyber threats. The domain karatdao.top was registered on February 21, 2026, through a registry classified as a dead domain, suggesting low legitimacy. Intelligence from AlienVault OTX and inclusion on a security blocklist further corroborate its malicious intent. Additionally, VirusTotal flagged this domain by seven security vendors, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing misuse. Its relatively recent creation and offline status indicate possible takedown actions or preemptive blocking by security providers. Users are advised to avoid visiting karatdao.top or clicking on any links associated with it. If you have interacted with this domain or shared any personal information, monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider changing passwords. Always verify website authenticity before submitting sensitive data, and keep your security software up to date. PhishDestroy encourages reporting suspicious domains to help strengthen collective cybersecurity efforts. ## 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/karatdao.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=karatdao.top 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.
