notinstagram.vercel.app Safety Check — Instagram Credential

This domain, notinstagram.vercel.app, is flagged as an active Instagram credential phishing site. As of July 19, 2026, the domain remains operational with an HTTP 200 status, indicating a live and accessible endpoint. It appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, and is detected by 13 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, confirming its classification as malicious infrastructure. The use of Vercel's hosting platform aligns with observed tactics leveraging legitimate cloud services to evade detection and reduce operational costs. While the exact phishing kit or payload is not yet analysed, the domain name and blocklist classifications strongly suggest it targets Instagram users by harvesting login credentials. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement immediate blocking at the DNS or network level. Further analysis of associated IP addresses, SSL certificates, and redirect chains is recommended to identify related infrastructure. No additional brand impersonation or scam type details are currently available, and the site content has not been manually reviewed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       917515db74ea8d1aee6a246cfbcc0b45
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.
