# PhishDestroy threat dossier — socialcat.cloud ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 09:35:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/socialcat.cloud/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.41.39 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 22:23:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4db1-f668-73ec-abac-32f9be2fa2a8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/socialcat.cloud crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.socialcat.cloud Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=socialcat.cloud AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/socialcat.cloud URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/socialcat.cloud/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 22:54:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, socialcat.cloud, is flagged as a generic phishing site under active investigation. Analysis indicates it is designed to harvest user credentials by impersonating social media login portals. No specific brand or drainer kit has been attributed to the domain at this stage, though its infrastructure suggests broad targeting of multiple platforms. The site employs social engineering tactics to trick users into submitting sensitive information, likely through cloned login interfaces or fake verification prompts. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.142.84. VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain as malicious at the time of this report. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing an appearance of legitimacy. No entries were found on Google Safe Browsing or other major blocklists, and the domain remains unclassified in most threat intelligence feeds. The domain is still active and operational, with no takedown or mitigation measures observed. Response actions are pending further analysis, including deeper inspection of the hosted content and potential ties to known phishing campaigns. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain's unflagged status and valid SSL certificate, which may increase its effectiveness in deceiving users. Organizations are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to 172.67.142.84 and consider preemptive blocking of socialcat.cloud until a definitive classification is established. Users should be cautioned against entering credentials on unfamiliar login pages, even if they appear secure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 8/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 08bc1a4720d14cec22eeb819ddad747c ## 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/socialcat.cloud/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=socialcat.cloud 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.
