38548.app: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of 38548.app indicates that the domain is actively being used for a phishing campaign. An HTTP request to the host returns a 301 redirect, suggesting the site forwards visitors to another location, a common technique for evading initial detection. The domain has been blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, yet it remains listed as active in internal monitoring systems. VirusTotal reports that 4 of 91 scanning engines have flagged the domain, confirming a modest but notable detection rate, and the domain appears on at least one external security blocklist. No additional infrastructure details, such as hosting provider or geographic location, are available from the current intelligence set, and the page content has not been publicly disclosed. Given the confirmed redirect behavior, the presence of security vendor detections, and the active blocklist entry, defenders should add 38548.app to network deny lists, monitor DNS queries for related activity, and consider isolating any internal traffic that attempts to resolve the domain. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case additional indicators emerge or the detection count changes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ebfd68d14c5de4828e4a5293bad113a65845126c8e9f0e69a0bfecb0f0cff437

## 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.
