ASN:             AS137951 ASLINE LIMITED
Hosting org:     Free State Education Department
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

868962.com Safety Check — Confirmed Generic Phishing Threat

The domain 868962.com is actively engaged in generic phishing operations as of July 19, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 168.76.228.176, located in Hong Kong and associated with the Free State Education Department network. This domain has been flagged by 13 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a substantial detection rate among antivirus engines. Additionally, it appears in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses and is listed on one security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious reputation. The domain responds with an HTTP 200 status, confirming it is currently reachable and potentially serving phishing content. Protective services such as PhishDestroy have blocked this domain, reflecting active defensive measures. While the exact phishing campaign specifics or targeted brands are not identified, the consistent detection across multiple intelligence sources and its continued operational status suggest a high risk to users. Defenders should maintain blocking and monitoring of this domain to prevent exposure to phishing attacks and consider updating endpoint protections accordingly.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       02e53b1be741cf4cfcb71bf4c48287db
TLS cert SHA-256:      54b0f01b7e8939d9556042d21238a914847d4fb9c0a1481c8c334edc1e738ff3

## 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.
