Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies staging.cpanel.vetunerecords.com as an active credential theft domain currently under investigation. This domain was flagged for credential theft phishing, leveraging the cPanel brand to deceive users into surrendering login credentials. The domain resolves to IP address 185.149.120.183 and operates under an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, a tactic often exploited to appear legitimate. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on May 12, 2021, it has yet to be detected by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potentially novel or evasive threat. No entries in public threat intelligence blocklists were identified during initial scans. The domain’s configuration—using a subdomain mimicking cPanel’s interface (staging.cpanel)—suggests a deliberate attempt to exploit user trust in legitimate administrative portals. With zero detections on VirusTotal, the threat remains undetected by traditional security tools, increasing the risk of successful compromise. The IP address 185.149.120.183 has been associated with low trust scores in historical data, further correlating with malicious hosting patterns. Given the active status and the absence of detections, immediate action is required. Organizations should block staging.cpanel.vetunerecords.com at the network and DNS levels. Users should avoid interacting with the domain and report any suspicious login prompts to their IT security teams. Implementing DNS filtering rules and enhancing email security policies to detect phishing attempts using this domain will mitigate further exposure. Continuous monitoring for related domains and IPs is advised due to the evolving nature of this threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260503-375B30 Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: c7ae36d218b49a168a430cc50edb5db83cafe4dc4eed93bf42f2dbf66663bd6d ## 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/staging.cpanel.vetunerecords.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=staging.cpanel.vetunerecords.com 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.
