Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] VikingsBot.com Used for Credential Harvesting Campaign Analysis of the domain vikingsbot.com shows a newly registered internet property created on 21 July 2026 and actively resolving to the IPv4 address 78.17.115.141. The registration is listed under NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and the authoritative name servers are elsa.ns.cloudflare.com and skip.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. VirusTotal submissions record that 2 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, providing limited but corroborating evidence of abuse. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is specifically listed by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing organization has identified it as a threat vector. The threat classification supplied is generic phishing, suggesting the site is being used to harvest credentials or personal data. No public page title, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or Safe Browsing/OTX entries are currently available, so the exact content and transport security of the site remain unknown. The presence of Cloudflare name servers does not by itself mitigate risk, as the hosting IP is publicly reachable and has not been reported as benign. Defenders should block network communications to 78.17.115.141 and add vikingsbot.com to DNS filtering policies. Continuous monitoring of VirusTotal and other reputation feeds is advised to capture any changes in the detection count. Because the domain is only days old, rapid propagation is possible; security teams should also watch for emails or messages that reference “VikingsBot” to pre‑empt credential‑stealing attempts. Incident response teams should treat any login credentials received from this domain as compromised and enforce password resets for affected accounts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 040f40d690534ff139e788266306deed TLS cert SHA-256: 38727edd603e176bb5eac4a0419071adf39a6f1e8832deb0fdf43355ee757bdf ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vikingsbot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vikingsbot.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
