# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kartikbuilds.github.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 05:35:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kartikbuilds.github.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.199.109.153 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS54113 FASTLY - Fastly, Inc., US Hosting org: AS54113 Fastly, Inc. Registrar: GitHub, Inc. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Registered: 2025-10-28 Page title: LEDGER & CO — Own the Ledger HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - github.com - github.io - githubusercontent.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: 2025-10-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 10:12:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f367b-5353-70e9-8366-b15a218f99c9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kartikbuilds.github.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kartikbuilds.github.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kartikbuilds.github.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kartikbuilds.github.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kartikbuilds.github.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 10:16:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, kartikbuilds.github.io, is flagged as an active credential theft operation targeting software developers and technical users. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate developer portals or code repositories, likely harvesting login credentials, API keys, or sensitive project data. While no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, the domain leverages GitHub Pages hosting to appear authentic, exploiting trust in the platform's native environment. The threat actor may employ social engineering tactics, such as fake pull requests, issue notifications, or repository invitations, to lure victims into entering credentials on cloned or spoofed interfaces. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 185.199.108.153, a shared GitHub Pages endpoint, and is registered through GitHub, Inc. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common but not inherently malicious provider. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating moderate but growing awareness of the threat. No creation date is publicly available due to GitHub Pages' dynamic hosting model, and the domain is not currently listed in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or major blocklists beyond the reported vendors. The lack of widespread blocklist inclusion suggests the campaign may still be in an early or targeted phase. Current status confirms the domain remains active, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation efforts. The risk level is assessed as high due to the combination of credential theft intent, trusted hosting infrastructure, and low detection rates. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain at the network level, particularly in development environments, and user education on recognizing spoofed developer portals. Remaining risks include potential lateral movement within compromised accounts, such as unauthorized repository access or supply chain attacks via stolen credentials. Organizations are advised to monitor for unusual authentication attempts or repository activity linked to this domain and enforce multi-factor authentication for all developer accounts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d06ec822cbee31b15e17734d919cb6b3 TLS cert SHA-256: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 ## 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/kartikbuilds.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kartikbuilds.github.io 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.
