No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 06:01:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-23 03:24:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-25 17:21:09 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db847-60aa-71bb-be8a-8d56df84566e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8bfeb6d1-724a-4160-9427-a03f0563a475 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/strobereward.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.strobereward.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=strobereward.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/strobereward.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/strobereward.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 06:02:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies strobereward.info as an active Apple Rewards phishing campaign designed to deceive users into divulging personal information under the guise of a fake rewards program. The domain poses an immediate risk to unsuspecting victims due to its deceptive branding and active infrastructure. Initial analysis confirms this is not a generic phishing domain but a targeted effort exploiting Apple's reputation to lure victims. Per seed ba7f28, this assessment remains under investigation, but early indicators highlight a high potential for fraudulent activity. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a current risk level marked as under_investigation. Technical profiling reveals multiple red flags: the site registered via NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on April 19, 2026, resolves to IP 172.67.219.167, and leverages a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for authenticity. Despite a clean VirusTotal scan result of 0/95 detections at time of analysis, this domain has not yet been widely added to blocklists or threat intelligence feeds, leaving organizations and users vulnerable to exposure. Additional scrutiny shows no current presence on known blacklists or domain reputation engines, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring. To mitigate exposure to this Apple Rewards phishing scam, organizations and users should immediately block access to strobereward.info at the network and endpoint levels. Users receiving emails or messages referencing this domain should avoid clicking any embedded links and report the activity to their IT security team or platform provider. Security teams are advised to inspect DNS logs for queries to this domain and monitor for anomalous traffic patterns involving IP 172.67.219.167. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of widespread detection, this threat is likely to evolve, reinforcing the importance of real-time threat intelligence and user awareness training focused on reward-themed scams. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260423-F9721C Favicon MD5: 747713b14cb6bd920b0b8ca9b7b35b5b TLS cert SHA-256: fd9d6abf282fff78995289888c17a8175f737f98422fc7f7d2c23d878ebeddeb ## 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/strobereward.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=strobereward.info 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.
