# PhishDestroy threat dossier — picklespotatoko.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-31 07:34:46 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/picklespotatoko.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.161.203 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: MAT BAO CORPORATION Nameservers: brenna.ns.cloudflare.com, kianchau.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-08-15 Expires: 2026-08-15 Page title: Connect Page HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-08-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-14 15:17:42 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-31 09:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-16 00:00:47 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0199e34b-9f36-721b-b198-239774c83181/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/picklespotatoko.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.picklespotatoko.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=picklespotatoko.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/picklespotatoko.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/picklespotatoko.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:27:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies picklespotatoko.com as a medium-risk phishing domain involved in generic credential harvesting attempts. The domain’s page titled "Connect Page" suggests it was designed to mimic legitimate login portals, potentially deceiving users into submitting sensitive information. Established on August 15, 2025, the domain exhibited suspicious behavior consistent with phishing activities. Technical analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP 172.67.161.203 and was registered via MAT BAO CORPORATION. It has been flagged in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse and appears on two separate security blocklists. VirusTotal scans indicate 7 out of 95 security vendors detected malicious indicators associated with this domain, confirming its threat potential. Currently, picklespotatoko.com is offline, reducing immediate risk. However, users and organizations should remain vigilant for similar phishing attempts and blocklists should be updated accordingly. It is recommended to avoid any interaction or data submission on this domain if encountered and to maintain updated endpoint security solutions to detect related threats. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/picklespotatoko.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=picklespotatoko.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
