Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a credential theft operation targeting users of a popular messaging platform. The site mimics legitimate login interfaces to harvest account credentials, including usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. Such stolen credentials are frequently exploited for account takeovers, unauthorized access to sensitive communications, or further social engineering attacks against contacts in the victim's network. Analysis indicates the domain is hosted on infrastructure associated with Vercel Inc., resolving to IP address 64.29.17.3. As of the latest scan, 22 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected malicious activity linked to this domain. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which does not mitigate the inherent risk posed by the site's content or intent. No legitimate service or affiliation with the impersonated brand has been verified. If you have visited messenger-clone-beta.vercel.app or entered any login details, immediately cease all interaction with the site. Reset passwords for any accounts accessed from the same device or browser session, prioritizing email and financial services. Enable multi-factor authentication where available, using app-based or hardware tokens instead of SMS-based methods. Monitor accounts for unauthorized activity, including sent messages, login attempts, or changes to security settings. Consider scanning the device used to access the site for malware, as credential theft sites may deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc ## 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/messenger-clone-beta.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=messenger-clone-beta.vercel.app 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.
