Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies register-katana.network as a low-risk generic phishing threat. The domain’s activity aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under false pretenses, though the risk level remains relatively low compared to more aggressive phishing campaigns. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s recent registration date (March 20, 2026) and its hosting on IP address 172.67.208.44. VirusTotal reports only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging this site, indicating limited but present suspicion. The page title "Just a moment..." may suggest the use of browser delays or redirection tactics common in phishing setups. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar not typically associated with high-profile legitimate brands. Users should exercise caution by avoiding interactions with this domain, especially refraining from submitting personal or financial details. PhishDestroy recommends blocking access and monitoring for any suspicious communications referencing this domain. The domain remains active, reinforcing the need for vigilance despite its low-risk classification. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260322-A997ED Favicon MD5: 7aa7a7daefd855bcb65ac9c4aae9c0e2 ## 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/register-katana.network/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=register-katana.network 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.
