starlaunch.cc Fake Robot-Themed Credential Harvest Alert

Analysis of the domain starlaunch.cc indicates a high-risk phishing infrastructure active as of July 14, 2026. The domain was registered on July 10, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, with a creation window of four days prior to detection. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and presents an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend superficial legitimacy to the site. The page title 'Robots Shall Not Pass!' suggests a robot or automation-related theme, though the exact content and target of the phishing campaign remain unconfirmed due to lack of deeper forensic analysis.  Infrastructure review shows the domain has been flagged in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating prior malicious associations. VirusTotal reports two security vendors out of 95 have detected the domain as malicious, though this limited detection rate does not rule out active threats. No specific phishing kit, brand impersonation, or scam category has been identified in available data. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as hostile until further analysis confirms otherwise. Blocking the domain and associated IP at perimeter controls is recommended, alongside monitoring for internal connections to 188.114.96.3. Additional investigation into the page content and potential credential harvesting mechanisms is warranted.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-D42902
Favicon MD5:       a9286ace7c4890b419a4c6f9e8452c57
TLS cert SHA-256:      59c2ed0c8424c3f6984a57eb32e8a8e0cd2cb6b4bd02882968b3f5df411b35b3

## 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.
