Investigation Brief

cloneinstagram.now.sh is a fake Instagram login portal that cross-site redirects to cloneinstagram.vercel.app. The page mimics the official mobile app interface, pre-fills a user account 'abraao_morais1', and offers fake account actions. 14 of 92 VirusTotal engines flag the domain as phishing.

What the site appears to do

The captured page displays a realistic Instagram mobile screenshot alongside a login prompt titled 'Instagram' with a profile photo and the button 'Continue como abraao_morais1'. Links for 'Remover Conta', 'Trocar de Conta', and 'Cadastra-se' are present along with App Store and Google Play badges. Footer text copies official Instagram links and copyright from 2021.

Decisive evidence

VirusTotal reports 14 malicious and 1 suspicious detection across 92 engines, with explicit 'phishing' labels from BitDefender, Kaspersky, Sophos, OpenPhish and others. The initial request to cloneinstagram.now.sh performs a cross-domain redirect to cloneinstagram.vercel.app. The page contains no functional login backend but harvests intent through credential-style buttons. Google Safe Browsing returned no flag and TLS is valid.

Practical user impact

Any user clicking 'Continue' or entering credentials on this clone risks immediate account takeover. The site is hosted on a legitimate Vercel subdomain, increasing visual trust. Do not interact with the page or any links; close the tab and report the URL to Instagram or your security provider.

Why the score is 15

12 independent antivirus familyies reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Cross Domain Landing

Evidence behind this classification

  1. 0112 independent antivirus familyies reported an adverse result.
  2. 02The page redirected the browser to an unrelated external domain.

What this means for you

You were probably about to log in or type personal details here.

Anything you enter — username, password, card number, one-time code — goes straight to criminals, who use it to take over your real accounts and drain them.

How this scam works

The trap, step by step

  1. They clone a real login page (a bank, email provider, PayPal, a courier) pixel-for-pixel.

  2. You're driven here by an email, text, or ad with an urgent reason to “verify”, “unlock”, or “confirm” your account.

  3. You type your username and password — which flow straight to the scammers instead of the real company.

  4. They log into your real account, change the password, and drain it or sell the access.

Recognising the pattern is the best defence — if a site follows these steps, close it and don't enter anything.

  • Do not interact with cloneinstagram.now.sh

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

08 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is cloneinstagram.now.sh a scam or a legit website?
cloneinstagram.now.sh shows every sign of being a phishing & impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing-impersonation and login-portal. 15 of 92 security engines flag it (14 as outright malicious). The domain is an unknown age. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
Is cloneinstagram.now.sh safe to use?
No — cloneinstagram.now.sh has a Safety Score of 15/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
What should I do if I already gave my details to cloneinstagram.now.sh?
If you've already paid or handed over details on cloneinstagram.now.sh, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on cloneinstagram.now.sh and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.
Can I get my money back from cloneinstagram.now.sh?
Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.
Did cloneinstagram.now.sh steal my password or personal information?
If you entered anything on cloneinstagram.now.sh, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
How do I report cloneinstagram.now.sh?
You can report cloneinstagram.now.sh through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.
Why does cloneinstagram.now.sh look legitimate if it's a scam?
Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.
Has cloneinstagram.now.sh been flagged by antivirus engines?
Yes. 15 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged cloneinstagram.now.sh, 14 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.
Is cloneinstagram.now.sh on any phishing or malware blacklists?
No — cloneinstagram.now.sh is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
How old is the cloneinstagram.now.sh domain?
cloneinstagram.now.sh is an unknown age. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.
Where is cloneinstagram.now.sh hosted?
cloneinstagram.now.sh resolves to an IP operated by Vercel, Inc in US (Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.
How often is the cloneinstagram.now.sh report updated?
This report is a record of the scan run on July 30, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about cloneinstagram.now.sh has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
