Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] pc-instagram.cn — Generic Phishing Investigation The domain pc-instagram.cn was registered on July 24, 2026 through the registrar Beijing Xinwang Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd and is currently active. It resolves to the IPv4 address 154.19.248.16 and is served by four nameservers (ns1.363.hk, ns2.363.hk, ns1.myhostadmin.net, ns2.myhostadmin.net). The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one reputable anti‑phishing feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that 15 of 91 scanned security vendors flag the domain, providing additional corroboration of its malicious reputation. No public Safe Browsing, Open Threat Exchange, SSL certificate, HTTP response code, trust‑score, or page‑title information is presently available, so the full technical profile of the hosting environment and the content served by the site remains unverified. Defenders should treat pc-instagram.cn as a high‑risk indicator. Immediate mitigation steps include adding the domain and its resolved IP address (154.19.248.16) to outbound and inbound deny lists, updating intrusion‑detection signatures to capture traffic to the listed nameservers, and monitoring for any new sub‑domains or variations that reuse the same registrar or hosting infrastructure. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis (e.g., content retrieval, SSL inspection, or additional sandboxing) may reveal more precise tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the operators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260727-16CA1E Favicon MD5: 4657651e91e85c925a37e832ad924d67 ## 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/pc-instagram.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pc-instagram.cn 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.
