Is rutt.cc a phishing scam?

Analysis as of July 28, 2026 indicates that rutt.cc remains active and delivers HTTP 200 responses, confirming an operational web service. The domain is delegated to nameservers ns1.fbi.seized.gov and ns2.fbi.seized.gov, which are anomalous and suggest possible compromise or misuse of infrastructure associated with law‑enforcement identifiers. Registration records show the registrar as Gname.com Pte. Ltd., a provider known to host a variety of legitimate and malicious sites. VirusTotal reports that 16 of 91 scanned security vendors flagged rutt.cc, providing moderate consensus that the domain hosts malicious content.

Additionally, the domain appears on a single external blocklist and is listed as blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing‑related activity. The available intelligence does not include a page title, SSL certificate details, IP address, or geographic attribution, leaving the exact hosting environment and target brand ambiguous. No Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange entries are supplied, and no evidence of the payload or credential‑harvesting page has been captured. Consequently, the precise phishing campaign vector cannot be confirmed, but the convergence of active hosting, hostile nameservers, vendor detections, and blocklist listings constitutes a high‑confidence indicator of a phishing threat.

Defenders should treat rutt.cc as malicious. Immediate actions include adding the domain to network‑level deny lists, updating endpoint and email security policies to block connections, and monitoring DNS queries for related subdomains. Continuous re‑assessment is advised in case additional intelligence, such as page content or SSL fingerprint, becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      640b0a72a776aaf97e328d96018fc0c5fb66dbd57d00847eaeeae0f4e0c5c8be

## 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.
