Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies Instagramchecker.github.io as an active phishing site designed to steal Instagram login credentials. The domain mimics the official Instagram branding to trick users into entering their usernames and passwords on a counterfeit login page. Once submitted, attackers harvest these credentials to hijack accounts for spam, scams, or further phishing campaigns targeting the victim’s contacts. This threat is particularly dangerous because it preys on users’ trust in familiar social media interfaces, often spreading through deceptive links in messages or fake profiles. The site’s goal is not just access but full account takeover, enabling criminals to exploit personal data and social connections for financial gain or reputational harm. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after VirusTotal analysis confirmed detection by 5 out of 95 security vendors, indicating elevated risk. Registered through GitHub, Inc., the site leverages a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, resolving to IP address 185.199.108.153. Its use of GitHub’s infrastructure is a common tactic among phishers to host malicious pages quickly and evade traditional blocklists. The domain’s recent activation and low detection rate suggest it is part of an emerging campaign, making it critical for users to verify URLs before entering credentials and for organizations to monitor for related abuse. If you visited Instagramchecker.github.io or entered any information, change your Instagram password immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Check your account for unauthorized posts, messages, or changes to profile details. Run a malware scan on your device using reputable antivirus software, as phishing sites may also deliver spyware or credential-stealing malware. Report the domain to Instagram and your organization’s security team to help block future access. Avoid clicking links from unsolicited messages and always navigate directly to official websites to log in. ## 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/lnstagramchecker.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lnstagramchecker.github.io 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.
