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: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 12:56:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 10:58:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 00:20:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 00:33:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebb78-ca85-769c-8b56-5c2f96296457/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cf5f7614-aeaf-41af-a1b5-3fc6ede6c1d1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vks.kestory.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vks.kestory.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vks.kestory.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vks.kestory.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vks.kestory.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 11:34:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy flags vks.kestory.com as a generic phishing domain, specifically a crypto drainer, with no notable brand impersonation. This domain was flagged due to its malicious activities. Technical indicators include a VirusTotal score of 3/95, registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and resolution to IP 185.81.114.38, with an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt / E8. The domain is currently active and has been flagged by 3 security vendors. The current status of vks.kestory.com is active, with a high risk level, and users are advised to exercise caution, as the remaining risk is significant. PhishDestroy recommends verifying the domain on their platform to stay safe and taking immediate response actions to mitigate potential threats, considering the domain's registration and IP details. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260612-56AFEF TLS cert SHA-256: c6fae194e320f0ee76819578caa68a2729390f65dfbd4b5acc9c9e9f4e758f93 ## 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/vks.kestory.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vks.kestory.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.
