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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:19:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-29 21:04:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bb4a8-5df3-74ac-9ad9-b95477f65e05/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/lk0q0o.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.lk0q0o.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=lk0q0o.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/lk0q0o.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/lk0q0o.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:32:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is lk0q0o.top a Brand Impersonation Threat? The domain lk0q0o.top is identified as an elevated risk due to its specific threat type: brand impersonation. This domain appears to be targeting the 'backpack' brand, as indicated by the page title 'Shopee', a known method to mislead users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate entity. Analysis reveals that the domain is flagged by 19 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant level of suspicion. The domain resolves to the IP address 180.178.44.98, located in Hong Kong, under AS45753 Netsec Limited. It was created on February 21, 2026, and has been taken offline. The domain is also listed on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate associated with this domain is identified by 'E7'. To mitigate risks associated with brand impersonation threats like lk0q0o.top, users should remain vigilant and verify domain authenticity before engaging. Organizations should implement web filtering solutions and maintain updated blocklists to prevent access. Additionally, monitoring for emerging threats using security intelligence platforms can help in early detection and proactive defense. ## 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/lk0q0o.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lk0q0o.top 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.
