Fetched:   2026-07-22 00:13:30 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/yacab.ru/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      yacab.ru

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-07-07 20:17:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

yacab.ru Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain yacab.ru is a generic phishing site designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information. It does not impersonate a specific brand or employ a known crypto drainer kit. As of the latest verification, yacab.ru has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk but leaving past victims potentially exposed.

Technical indicators for yacab.ru show limited detection: 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged the domain, while Google Safe Browsing did not. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The creation date is recorded as February 21, 2026, though registrar, IP address, and SSL issuer details are not available. The observed page title was simply 'yacab.ru,' and Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100.

Users who interacted with yacab.ru should assume credentials or personal data may have been compromised. Change passwords for any accounts accessed while the site was active, enable two-factor authentication where possible, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or local cybercrime units to aid in broader threat mitigation.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-02-21

## 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.
