# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 02:19:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 96/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, ESET, G-Data, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 192.185.5.219 (US, Ashburn) ASN: ASAS19871 NETWORK-SOLUTIONS-HOSTING - Network Solutions, LLC, US Hosting org: AS19871 Network Solutions, LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns8077.hostgator.com, ns8078.hostgator.com Registered: 2017-10-05 Expires: 2026-10-05 Page title: Not Acceptable! HTTP response: 503 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-08-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5d2ecc93cc53e9035b36b363a1a115abbca795559cb39e1e6d1014eaa16a897c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - aht.io ## 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: 2017-10-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-20 12:53:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-22 00:24:50 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-22 00:24:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f7f27-7105-760b-8828-27b596b04d2a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 12:54:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] 8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io used in high‑risk phishing campaign Analysis as of July 20 2026 indicates that the domain 8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io is currently active and associated with a generic phishing campaign classified as high risk. The domain was registered on October 5 2017 through GoDaddy.com, LLC and is served by the hostgator.com nameservers ns8077.hostgator.com and ns8078.hostgator.com. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 192.185.5.219, which is the same host listed on two public phishing blocklists, PhishDestroy and OpenPhish. VirusTotal scans show that seven of ninety‑five security engines flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. Infrastructure analysis reveals no additional hosting or CDN layers; the IP address appears to be a single‑point hosting location, suggesting limited mitigation options for the attacker. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload or credential‑stealing mechanisms employed, as no page content has been publicly disclosed. Defenders are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at network perimeter devices, add the host to internal threat intelligence feeds, and monitor for any related traffic patterns. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended should further indicators, such as additional detections or changes in hosting, emerge. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 5d2ecc93cc53e9035b36b363a1a115abbca795559cb39e1e6d1014eaa16a897c ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=8tzd4lvkbcj339cy.aht.io Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
