# PhishDestroy threat dossier — keepass.it ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 16:26:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/keepass.it/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 35.214.148.249 (NL, Groningen) ASN: AS43515 Google Ireland Limited Hosting org: Google Cloud (europe-west4) Registrar: TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd Nameservers: ns1.siteground.net, ns1.siteground.net, ns2.siteground.net, ns2.siteground.net Registered: 2007-05-10 Expires: 2027-03-07 Page title: Keepass.it - Scarica Keepass per PC e Mac ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f1f8b930eae4679695e3cb355df9128d600ffa22af7d4345f2222efe33c3c837 ## 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: 2007-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 14:35:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 18:20:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f376b-f1eb-75a7-bfe3-df60cfd6b3b1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/keepass.it crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.keepass.it Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=keepass.it AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/keepass.it URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/keepass.it/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:00:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, keepass.it, is currently active and poses a high-risk credential harvesting threat targeting users of the KeePass password manager. The site presents itself as an official download portal for KeePass software, using localized Italian-language content (Scarica Keepass per PC e Mac) to deceive users into downloading malicious payloads or submitting login credentials. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is specifically designed to exploit trust in the KeePass brand, potentially distributing trojanized installers or collecting authentication details for subsequent unauthorized access. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 10, 2007, through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd, and currently resolves to IP address 35.214.148.249. VirusTotal detection metrics show 3 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, indicating a targeted or low-volume distribution strategy to evade broader detection. The extended registration period (17+ years) combined with minimal vendor detections suggests either dormant operation or highly selective targeting, both common characteristics of credential harvesting campaigns designed to persist undetected. Users who have visited keepass.it or downloaded files from this domain should immediately revoke any credentials entered on the site and perform a full system scan using updated security tools. Any downloaded executables should be treated as malicious and removed from systems. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP (35.214.148.249) at perimeter security controls. Organizations using KeePass should direct users to the official project site (keepass.info) for legitimate downloads and implement application allowlisting to prevent execution of unauthorized binaries. The combination of brand impersonation, extended domain age, and minimal detection coverage warrants elevated monitoring for related credential misuse or malware persistence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1f496e858416c280a670a726d9cfba21 TLS cert SHA-256: f1f8b930eae4679695e3cb355df9128d600ffa22af7d4345f2222efe33c3c837 ## 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/keepass.it/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=keepass.it 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.
