Registrar: Isimtescil Bilisim A.S. Nameservers: ns1.metropolmedya.com, ns2.metropolmedya.com Registered: 2016-03-08 Expires: 2027-03-08 Page title: Adobe Cloud HTTP response: 200 ## 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: 2016-03-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 02:19:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-25 00:22:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-25 03:05:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efc24-5bb1-749a-8b5c-bf2a1255f4f9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aee05038-f953-462b-991a-2cc7533a3b4e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/lalekostum.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.lalekostum.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=lalekostum.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/lalekostum.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/lalekostum.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 03:00:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that the domain lalekostum.com operates as a credential theft endpoint designed to harvest user login details through fraudulent login forms. The infrastructure is leveraged to impersonate legitimate services, tricking users into submitting sensitive credentials which are then exfiltrated to attacker-controlled servers. This domain has been observed hosting fake portals mimicking financial institutions, e-commerce platforms, or webmail interfaces, depending on the targeted campaign. Given its sustained activity since March 8, 2016, and consistent presence on blocklists, it represents a persistent threat to organizations and individuals relying on web authentication workflows. Infrastructure analysis reveals that lalekostum.com resolves to a dedicated IP address (89.252.179.36) hosted under Isimtescil Bilisim A.S., a registrar known to host multiple suspicious domains. The domain has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing as a phishing resource and is detected by 4 out of 95 security vendors via VirusTotal, with additional confirmation in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Its longevity and consistent detection profile suggest a well-established malicious operation with active campaigns. The domain’s age (over 8 years) indicates long-term operational use, likely through periodic re-registration or hosting changes to evade takedowns. Users who have visited lalekostum.com or entered credentials on any page hosted under this domain should immediately change passwords on all potentially affected accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Review account activity for unauthorized access or transactions, especially for financial or email services. If the domain was accessed via a link in an unsolicited message, scan the device for malware and monitor for signs of credential compromise. Organizations should block this domain at the network perimeter and update threat intelligence feeds to prevent further exposure. Report any suspicious interactions to relevant security teams for forensic investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260625-02E78F Favicon MD5: 52b7e99c727a437da721046cba2927a5 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/lalekostum.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lalekostum.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
