Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] kucoindlugeff-io.godaddysites.com: Confirmed Phishing Site Analysis of kucoindlugeff-io.godaddysites.com indicates that the domain is actively being used for a generic phishing campaign as of July 25, 2026. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 13.248.243.5, and the hosting provider is identified as GoDaddy.com, LLC, the registrar recorded in the WHOIS data. Name‑server information is unavailable (NS_NOT_FOUND), which limits passive DNS correlation but does not impede direct IP‑based blocking. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy remediation service, confirming that at least one reputable feed has classified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that 15 of 91 scanning engines return a detection for the domain, providing independent corroboration of its malicious intent. No additional telemetry such as Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate details, or page title is available, leaving the broader campaign context uncertain. Given the high risk rating and active status, defenders should immediately add the fully qualified domain name and its resolved IP address (13.248.243.5) to deny‑list rules on firewalls, web proxies, DNS filtering solutions, and endpoint protection platforms. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the exact hostname is advised to detect any internal resolution attempts, and any observed traffic should be logged and investigated. Because the registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC, incident responders may consider contacting the registrar for takedown assistance to accelerate remediation. Ongoing re‑evaluation is recommended as the lack of name‑server data may allow rapid re‑hosting or migration to new sub‑domains, potentially extending the campaign’s lifespan. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 94acaae1ed4de05f2363c7b95dbea5b2 TLS cert SHA-256: 7f80729c4263c741db3e1303d1b17b7cb02c982559aba2db01572e698dffabfc ## 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/kucoindlugeff-io.godaddysites.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kucoindlugeff-io.godaddysites.com 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.
