# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kusod.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-08-01 02:30:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kusod.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Trust Wallet ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: nicolas.ns.cloudflare.com, tess.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-23 Expires: 2027-05-23 Page title: Coming Soons ## 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: 2026-05-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-29 00:49:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-28 22:53:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 04:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-29 03:01:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019faae9-8d30-71ba-9b42-93cae2855b6a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8b2aabb8-d29d-40a3-88e9-e7cdd5ff26be Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kusod.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kusod.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kusod.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kusod.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kusod.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-29 00:49:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] kusod.com Safety Check — Generic Phishing Detected Analysis of kusod.com, created on May 23, 2026 and currently active, indicates that the domain is being leveraged for a generic phishing campaign. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, as evidenced by the authoritative name servers nicolas.ns.cloudflare.com and tess.ns.cloudflare.com. Registration was performed through Namecheap Inc, a registrar frequently observed in malicious deployments. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one external sinkhole recognizes it as malicious. VirusTotal has processed the domain with scans from 91 antivirus and URL analysis vendors; none of the vendors reported a detection at the time of the scan. While the lack of detections does not constitute a safety guarantee, it suggests that the payload or landing page may be employing techniques that evade static signature checks. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, trust‑score metrics, page title, or additional evidence links are presently available for this domain, leaving those vectors unverified. The primary uncertainties revolve around the content hosted on the site, the specific phishing lure employed, and any potential command‑and‑control endpoints. Defenders should block DNS resolution to 188.114.97.3, add kusod.com to local blocklists, and monitor outbound traffic for connections to Cloudflare name servers associated with the domain. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and inclusion in URL filtering solutions are recommended to capture any future changes in detection status. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited communications that may reference kusod.com, reinforcing standard phishing remediation procedures. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-7F59BC Favicon MD5: f31065f3cd27ee747f132dfb9f3004ca ## 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/kusod.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kusod.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.
