PhishDestroy identifies new-api.cyou as a domain involved in generic phishing, impersonating a legitimate API, with no specific brand or drainer kit identified. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.197.102, has a VirusTotal score of 3/95, and was registered through Nicnames, Inc. on May 13, 2026, with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and appears on 3 security blocklists, indicating a potential threat to users who may interact with it. 
   
The technical indicators of this domain suggest a potentially malicious intent, with 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging it, and its presence on multiple security blocklists. The domain's registration details and IP address provide valuable information for tracking and mitigating potential threats. 

The current status of new-api.cyou is active, and users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with this domain, as the remaining risk is still elevated, and response actions should be taken to prevent potential harm, such as avoiding any suspicious links or attachments from this domain, and reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, to ensure a safe browsing experience.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8881e93bb648c6a652ead546572ecbb
TLS cert SHA-256:      1a4912ead7702354cb4a612500e310d018756afb7bd9e91ca1a4bb27d80da3d5

## 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.
