Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, karowex.com, is under investigation for hosting credential theft phishing infrastructure. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate login portals to harvest user credentials, likely targeting email, financial, or corporate accounts. No specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit signatures have been confirmed at this stage, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential harvesting campaigns, including low initial detection rates and rapid deployment post-registration. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.72.53, a Cloudflare-associated endpoint commonly used to mask origin servers. It was registered on July 05, 2026, through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, a registrar frequently observed in phishing operations due to its low verification thresholds. VirusTotal reports 0 detections across 95 engines, indicating the infrastructure remains undetected by most security vendors. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) flags or blocklist entries have been recorded as of this report, further suggesting the campaign is in its early or evasive phase. The domain remains active and unresponsive to takedown requests, posing an ongoing risk to users. Current response actions include monitoring for brand impersonation patterns, analyzing page content for credential harvesting scripts, and tracking associated IP infrastructure for lateral movement. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS level and implement real-time URL filtering to prevent access. Users should verify login portals via official channels and enable multi-factor authentication to mitigate credential theft risks. The risk level remains under investigation pending further evidence of targeting or payload delivery. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-7ED665 Favicon MD5: dfa67ec1dfbec07603f287baa85c7fd2 TLS cert SHA-256: 0c038f79d7bd5b577fe7ca14620cf0fdd7dcb5db63c90616c98b7147acd5397e ## 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/karowex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=karowex.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.
