soundclip.ratereset.net Safety Check — Phishing Detected

Analysis of soundclip.ratereset.net indicates active phishing infrastructure as of July 28, 2026. The domain returns an HTTP 302 redirect status, suggesting it is configured to forward visitors to another destination, a common tactic in phishing campaigns to obscure the final malicious endpoint. It is currently flagged by one security blocklist and blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal reports a detection from 1 of 91 security vendors, though this limited visibility does not rule out broader malicious activity.

The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, with nameservers ns53.domaincontrol.com and ns54.domaincontrol.com, which are standard for domains hosted under GoDaddy’s infrastructure. No additional context is available regarding the specific phishing lure, target brand, or attack vector, as the page content has not been analyzed. The domain remains active, and no evidence of takedown or sinkholing has been observed.

Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or proxy level. If internal logs show connections to this domain, review the redirect chain for potential credential theft or malware delivery. Further investigation into associated IPs, SSL certificates, and redirect targets is recommended to assess the full scope of the threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2282240a44c5b167e44239932e2e26d3
TLS cert SHA-256:      b21c2c3c022321b90a96493599638e5a27f33f5d7646816d039f169ac62e8c4e

## 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.
