# PhishDestroy threat dossier — tiktok-badges.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 02:45:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/tiktok-badges.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: social_media Targeted brand: tiktok ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.133.226 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Squarespace Domains LLC Nameservers: arch.ns.cloudflare.com, miki.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Index of / ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-21 15:27:53 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-10 02:59:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019be086-0401-71d9-9e0a-68cbda1f9c58/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/tiktok-badges.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.tiktok-badges.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=tiktok-badges.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/tiktok-badges.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/tiktok-badges.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:25:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] tiktok-badges.com is a domain identified as posing a threat through brand impersonation, specifically targeting TikTok users. Although currently offline, this site aimed to mislead users by creating a deceptive presence, potentially leading to unauthorized data collection or malware installation. Users who interacted with this domain might have been at risk of falling victim to phishing techniques designed to harvest sensitive information under the guise of legitimate TikTok interactions. Analysis has revealed several indicators of malicious activity associated with tiktok-badges.com. VirusTotal scans show that 16 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain for suspicious activity. Furthermore, the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC, suggesting it may have been set up with the intent to deceive. The site did not implement an SSL certificate, which is a common security oversight in phishing operations, making it easier for attackers to intercept data. If you have visited tiktok-badges.com, it is advisable to take immediate action to protect your personal data. Start by conducting a thorough scan of your system using reputable antivirus software to detect and remove any malware that might have been installed. Change passwords associated with the accounts you accessed while visiting the site, particularly if you used the same credentials across multiple platforms. Remain vigilant for any unusual activity in your accounts that could indicate unauthorized access. Consider reporting the incident to the appropriate security authorities to help mitigate the risk to other users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 3cb0e54babf019703fe671a32fcc3947aab9079ec2871cf0f9639245cc12d878 ## 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/tiktok-badges.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tiktok-badges.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.
