Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] nextjs-instagram-firebase.vercel.app Fake Instagram Login Alert As of July 19, 2026, the domain nextjs-instagram-firebase.vercel.app is actively flagged as a high-risk phishing site impersonating Instagram login infrastructure. Analysis indicates the domain returns an HTTP 200 status, suggesting a live and operational endpoint. It appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, which classify it as malicious. Eighteen of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected the domain as suspicious, though the exact nature of the threat—such as whether it harvests credentials, delivers malware, or employs a specific phishing kit—remains unconfirmed due to limited technical analysis of the page content. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is hosted on Vercel's platform, a common tactic to leverage legitimate cloud services for phishing campaigns. The inclusion of 'instagram-firebase' in the subdomain suggests an attempt to mimic Instagram's authentication flow, likely targeting users familiar with Firebase-backed applications. However, without further forensic evidence, the precise mechanisms of the attack—such as whether it uses OAuth spoofing, fake login overlays, or session hijacking—are not yet determined. Defenders should treat this domain as an active threat. Network-level blocking is recommended for all endpoints under nextjs-instagram-firebase.vercel.app, particularly in environments where Instagram or social media access is common. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to this domain in logs and investigate any user reports of unexpected Instagram login prompts. Given the domain's presence on multiple blocklists and its HTTP 200 status, it is unlikely to be a false positive, though additional analysis of the page content and backend infrastructure would provide further clarity on its operational scope. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc TLS cert SHA-256: ee54cb11f16cc311b3acbae57f8fbb03f338c1b2a20de72722c3eafd0dae0140 ## 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/nextjs-instagram-firebase.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=nextjs-instagram-firebase.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
