kinietiq.net — Credential Harvesting Phishing Domain Report

This domain, kinietiq.net, is currently under investigation for credential harvesting phishing activity targeting users of the Kinetiq brand, specifically its kHYPE platform. The page title 'Kinetiq | kHYPE' suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate login or account management portals, likely designed to capture user credentials or session tokens. No associated drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage, though the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with generic phishing infrastructure.  Analysis indicates the domain was registered on January 31, 2026, through ENOM, INC., and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries have been recorded. The domain's recent creation date and lack of prior reputation further elevate suspicion, despite the absence of immediate detection.  The domain remains active and unmitigated, posing a continued risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or compromised redirects. Response actions should include monitoring for additional detection on scanning platforms, submitting the domain to threat intelligence feeds, and alerting network security teams to block the IP and domain at perimeter defenses. Given the zero-detection status, manual verification and behavioral analysis of the site are recommended to confirm malicious intent before definitive classification.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 2 feeds
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       460b610c095bd6b0530d763397547836
TLS cert SHA-256:      7975674c17fcf6d121c9b6450646a63b74c5b98b68fc175b5f387013fd8dc1c3

## 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.
