Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active phishing site specializing in brand impersonation, specifically targeting users of the Messenger platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate login interfaces to harvest credentials, a tactic commonly associated with account takeover and subsequent fraud or malware distribution. The risk level is elevated due to its operational status, targeted nature, and detection by multiple security mechanisms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain messenger-clone-zeta-ten.vercel.app is hosted on Vercel Inc. infrastructure, resolving to IP address 64.29.17.131. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a common feature in both legitimate and malicious sites to evade basic security checks. The page title, 'Messenger Clone,' directly signals its intent to deceive users. Security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain at a rate of 15/95, indicating moderate to high confidence in its malicious classification. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, further corroborating its phishing status. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blacklisting of the domain and IP across enterprise and consumer security tools. Network administrators should implement DNS-based blocking to prevent resolution of messenger-clone-zeta-ten.vercel.app. End-users should be educated to scrutinize URL paths, particularly those hosted on third-party platforms like Vercel, which may not align with official service domains. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for all accounts to mitigate the impact of credential theft. Incident response teams should monitor for signs of account compromise linked to this domain and reset credentials for any affected users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 6d2c52daa02e83f6eb27eb2104f518cf ## 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-zeta-ten.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=messenger-clone-zeta-ten.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.
