Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.kinntiq.xyz

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:38:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is classified as an elevated-risk credential theft phishing site targeting users through brand impersonation. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to deceive visitors into submitting sensitive login credentials, likely for financial or corporate account compromise. The domain exhibits multiple technical indicators aligning with known phishing campaigns, warranting immediate caution.  Infrastructure analysis reveals kinntiq.xyz was registered on June 12, 2024, through NameCheap, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains. The domain resolves to IP address 68.65.123.184 and is currently offline, though prior activity included a page titled 'Kinetiq,' suggesting impersonation of the legitimate Kinetiq brand. Detection metrics show 3 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, while Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is specifically blocked by ScamSniffer, reinforcing its classification as a credential theft operation.  Users who may have interacted with kinntiq.xyz should immediately revoke any submitted credentials, particularly for accounts linked to financial services, corporate logins, or email platforms. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to mitigate unauthorized access. Organizations should update endpoint detection rules to block the domain and its associated IP (68.65.123.184) at the network level. Security teams are advised to monitor for indicators of compromise, including unexpected password reset emails or anomalous login attempts from unfamiliar locations. Given the domain's recent creation and low detection rate, heightened vigilance is recommended for similar impersonation attempts targeting Kinetiq or other brands.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260620-ABC7D8
TLS cert SHA-256:      99972926825aa42335918b975471f4076a204476448b3bd0ba35e62c44ecd41d

## 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.
