Expires:    2027-03-05
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 12f293bda8be182874e33c91866bc05f8ab7c2736a262c32c986aef006650429
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - hostmonster.com

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-02-26 23:24:10 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-26 16:21:10 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-12 19:55:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

80dances.com – High‑Risk Generic Phishing Domain

Analysis shows that 80dances.com is an active generic phishing infrastructure first seen in early 2026. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Bluehost Inc. and resolves to IP 67.20.113.97, an address owned by Oracle Corporation (AS31898) located in the United States. DNS is served by Hostmonster name servers (ns1.hostmonster.com, ns2.hostmonster.com) and a mail exchanger is present at mail.80dances.com. The site presents a valid Sectigo DV SSL certificate but returns an HTTP 302 redirect, a common tactic to forward victims to malicious payloads. Reputation data is poor: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, PhishDestroy and PhishingDB have already blocked the domain, and 12 of 93 VirusTotal scanners flag it as malicious. AlienVault OTX references the domain in 14 threat pulses, and it appears on two additional blocklists. While the exact phishing landing page content has not been disclosed, the combination of recent registration, low trust scores, multiple detections, and active blocklist listings warrants a high‑risk rating. Defenders should immediately block 80dances.com and its associated IP at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the domain and its MX record, and incorporate the indicator set into threat‑intel feeds to prevent credential harvesting attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      12f293bda8be182874e33c91866bc05f8ab7c2736a262c32c986aef006650429

## 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.
