On 2026-10-01, ab.mediabds.com returned an HTTP 502 status when checked. The domain also appears in the PhishDestroy internal listing, a publisher-owned catalogue.
Recorded Evidence
The PhishDestroy internal listing records ab.mediabds.com as present. VirusTotal reported 3 detections out of 89 scanners on 2026-09-13. The HTTP check on 2026-10-01 returned status 502. The domain was first observed on 2026-09-02.
Interpretation
The PhishDestroy internal listing and the VirusTotal detection count are separate source observations. The HTTP 502 response is a single dated measurement, not a statement about current availability. The first-observed date and the HTTP check date are different, but no conclusion about change over time follows from that alone.
Recommended Actions
Preserve the PhishDestroy internal listing record for ab.mediabds.com. Preserve the VirusTotal record for ab.mediabds.com. Compare the HTTP status record with the first-observed record. Review the domain against these source records before deciding on any action.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

RDAP registrationUnknown
Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
