Is recovery-hinkal.xyz a scam?

Analysis as of July 19, 2026 indicates that the domain recovery-hinkal.xyz is active and classified as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The authoritative nameservers are zeus.ns.cloudflare.com and zita.ns.cloudflare.com, and the domain resolves to the Cloudflare edge address 188.114.96.3, which is geolocated to Canada. TLS is provided by Google Trust Services under the WE1 certificate, suggesting the site is using a legitimate certificate chain. An HTTP request returns a 403 status and the page title is “Just a moment…”, a pattern frequently observed in credential‑harvesting redirects. VirusTotal reports five detections out of ninety‑one scanners, and the domain appears on one public blocklist. It is already blocked by the PhishDestroy sink‑hole network and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. No additional content has been captured, so the exact phishing lure and target brand remain unknown. Defenders should add recovery-hinkal.xyz and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 to network blocklists, monitor for DNS queries, and consider sink‑holing any future traffic. Continuous observation of the Cloudflare edge IP for changes in response codes or page content is recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       37f8aa92a43af227c212dbf8ec9a6b2b

## 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.
