Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain locate-idevice.us is classified under the generic_phishing threat type and maintains an active operational status. Infrastructure analysis reveals deployment for deceptive credential harvesting activities without affiliation to any particular brand entity. The elevated risk designation stems from multiple independent detection signals that align with patterns observed in phishing campaigns. Exact data points reference flagging by 5 of 95 VirusTotal vendors alongside Google Safe Browsing detection of SOCIAL_ENGINEERING content. The domain resolves to IP 162.144.180.56 and employs an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt for encrypted connections. These elements form key technical indicators that support the risk assessment. Blocklist presence and vendor detections contribute to the overall threat profile without reliance on fabricated metrics or unverified sources. Current status indicates the domain continues to pose risks to potential visitors. Actionable safety guidance encompasses preventing resolution of locate-idevice.us through DNS filtering mechanisms and educating users on recognizing unsolicited requests for sensitive information. Risk assessment concludes that engagement with this domain could lead to data compromise. Organizations should incorporate these indicators into security monitoring systems to detect and mitigate exposure effectively. Regular review of threat intelligence feeds ensures timely updates regarding similar infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-10A4EA Favicon MD5: 0a81714b61002c2c25a197ce6c45e694 ## 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/locate-idevice.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=locate-idevice.us 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.
