kiteshore.com — Generic Phishing Infrastructure

Analysis indicates that the domain kiteshore.com was registered on 15 June 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is currently hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure (nameservers bart.ns.cloudflare.com and ulla.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.178.94, which is part of Cloudflare's edge network. Threat intelligence has classified the site as a generic phishing operation and assigned a high risk rating. It appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole. VirusTotal scans show nine of ninety‑five security vendors flagged the domain, confirming detection of malicious activity. The operational status remains active, implying ongoing phishing use. No additional details such as page content, target brand, or malware kit are currently available. Defenders should add kiteshore.com to outbound and inbound filtering policies, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and Cloudflare nameservers, and quarantine or block any email or web traffic that references the domain. Ongoing observation is recommended as the infrastructure may be leveraged in future campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260720-F5FD5D
TLS cert SHA-256:      267a3dfc1a8f200d1f35d27d23472080a5566f4235684394af5e46880d65f3b0

## 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.
