Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["noel.ns.cloudflare.com", "ainsley.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b7fb55e86e0a9e9e8987da64c05bc16a9fff192092198a14a9a8e5f9c21b8b8e ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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 23:20:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:20:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 08:21:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-07 13:00:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019aff04-a666-749d-806f-6a7492b0f2db/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meta-knexus.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meta-knexus.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meta-knexus.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meta-knexus.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meta-knexus.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:51:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] meta-knexus.pages.dev flagged for credential theft: Elevated risk The domain meta-knexus.pages.dev is flagged with an elevated risk level and is specifically associated with credential theft. This type of threat is designed to steal user credentials, such as usernames and passwords, often through deceptive web pages that mimic legitimate websites. Analysis indicates that meta-knexus.pages.dev was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and created on October 10, 2025. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.66.47.170, which is located in the United States and belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1. According to VirusTotal, 18 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and PhishingDB. These indicators suggest a high likelihood of the domain being used for phishing activities, particularly for credential theft. To mitigate the risks associated with credential theft from meta-knexus.pages.dev, users should avoid clicking on any links or entering personal information on any web pages related to this domain. Organizations should update their security policies to block access to this domain and educate employees about the signs of phishing attacks. Network administrators should monitor for any attempts to resolve or access this domain and implement DNS filtering to prevent such connections. Regularly updating and patching security software is also crucial to detect and block similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: b7fb55e86e0a9e9e8987da64c05bc16a9fff192092198a14a9a8e5f9c21b8b8e ## 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/meta-knexus.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-knexus.pages.dev 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.
