tanuki.host is an impersonation phishing page that presents itself under the title "Domains, VPS", the look of a hosting and domain reseller. Its audience is people shopping for servers or domains, or logging in to manage existing ones. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-27. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still alive and its content was reachable through a redirect. The page title describes a hosting storefront, while our classification is impersonation phishing.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the branding and flow of a service people already trust so that the login or checkout screens feel familiar. A "Domains, VPS" storefront gives the operator natural reasons to ask for account credentials, contact details and payment information during sign-up, login or order checkout. Anything typed into those forms goes to the operator instead of the real provider. Victims can lose control of hosting or domain accounts, which can lead to hijacked websites or DNS. Card data entered at checkout can be charged or resold.
Evidence
On 2026-10-03, six of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, URLQuery and VIPRE. That is a minority verdict, but it comes from six unrelated vendors, so the call does not rest on a single source. The domain also appears in four AlienVault OTX pulses, which means other researchers have tracked it as threat infrastructure. Among blocklists, PhishDestroy currently lists it.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-06 through Global Domain Group LLC, just 21 days before PhishDestroy detected it. A domain this new is a common pattern for disposable phishing sites. It sits behind Cloudflare, Inc. at an address geolocated to Canada, which hides the real origin server. Its certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1) is the standard free certificate issued to Cloudflare-fronted sites. The padlock only means the connection is encrypted and says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you logged in on this site, change that password right away at your real hosting or domain provider. Change it anywhere else you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. Review your account for unfamiliar SSH keys, API tokens, DNS changes or domain transfer requests. If you entered card details, contact your bank to block the card and dispute any charges you don't recognize. Defenders should block tanuki.host at DNS and proxy level and check logs for users who submitted forms to it.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Rekomendasi & Saran bagi Para Korban
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Apa yang harus saya lakukan segera?
Mendesak
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Ubah semua kata sandi — email, akun Exchange, apa pun yang menggunakan kata sandi yang sama
Aktifkan 2FA menggunakan aplikasi otentikator (bukan SMS). Nonaktifkan pemulihan berbasis SMS
Kartu pembeku jika Anda telah memasukkan detail perbankan di situs phishing tersebut
Informasi apa saja yang sebaiknya saya kumpulkan untuk laporan saya?
Pedoman FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Tanggal dan waktu yang tepat — dari setiap transaksi dan kontak pertama dengan penipu
Tangkapan layar — situs web penipuan, pesan obrolan, email, transaksi dompet digital, media sosial
Semua URL & domain digunakan oleh penipu (termasuk tanuki.host)
Komunikasi — email, pesan teks, nomor telepon, dan nama pengguna yang digunakan oleh penipu tersebut
Meskipun kamu belum mengetahui semua detailnya — tetap saja ajukan laporan. Informasi yang tidak lengkap tetap dapat membantu penyelidikan.
Ke mana saya harus melaporkan penipuan ini?
FBI IC3 — Pusat Pengaduan Kejahatan Internet (Laporan tingkat federal AS)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polisi setempat — membuat catatan resmi, meskipun mereka tidak dapat bertindak segera
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Situs web palsu — salinan yang persis sama dengan situs asli, dengan domain yang sedikit diubah
Pemotongan babi — kepercayaan yang dibangun selama beberapa minggu melalui Telegram/WhatsApp/aplikasi kencan, lalu uangnya dicuri
Penipuan pemulihan — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Penipuan yang didukung oleh kecerdasan buatan — deepfakes, serangan phishing otomatis, dan situs yang dihasilkan oleh kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang membuat penipuan semakin sulit dideteksi
Bagaimana cara saya melindungi diri di masa depan?
Tandai situs resmi — jangan pernah mengklik tautan dari email, pesan langsung (DM), atau iklan
Memverifikasi domain — periksa PhishDestroy Sebelum berinteraksi. Periksa HTTPS, ejaan, dan usia domain
"Terlalu bagus untuk jadi kenyataan" = penipuan — imbal hasil yang dijamin, dukungan dari selebriti, tenggat waktu yang mendesak
