898a117.com — Generic Phishing Domain Investigation Report

This domain, 898a117.com, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site based on current threat intelligence. As of July 19, 2026, it appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The domain returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating it is operational and serving content. VirusTotal analysis shows 3 of 91 security vendors have detected malicious activity associated with this domain, though the specific nature of the phishing content remains unconfirmed due to limited visibility into the site's structure or targeted brand.  Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed active threat. Given its presence on a security blocklist and detection by multiple vendors, immediate blocking at the DNS or proxy level is recommended. Further investigation into associated IP addresses, SSL certificates, or hosting infrastructure may reveal additional indicators of compromise. If internal logs show any connections to this domain, review the affected endpoints for signs of credential theft or malware delivery. No brand-specific targeting or phishing kit details are currently available, so generic phishing detection rules should be applied until additional analysis is conducted.

## 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.
