## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 01:07:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies additionalfile.ghost.io as a domain linked to generic phishing activity, raising concerns about potential credential theft or malicious data collection. Although the exact phishing method remains under investigation, users should remain cautious when encountering this domain or related links.

The domain additionalfile.ghost.io resolves to IP address 151.101.131.7 and was registered through 1API GmbH on October 1, 2011. Despite appearing on two security blocklists, VirusTotal analysis shows no detections from 95 security vendors, suggesting the campaign may be newly identified or operating with minimal signature footprints. Currently, the domain is offline, which limits its immediate threat but does not preclude future activity.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any suspicious communications referencing it. Employ updated security software, enable browser phishing protections, and be vigilant about unsolicited links or messages. Monitoring network traffic for attempts to reach this domain can help mitigate risks while PhishDestroy continues to analyze its threat profile.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       467b9feccbe0d278bd918d989b50c1b956a730dc2dbc7cf4b650840f031a326d
TLS cert SHA-256:      015fe124633494e0f12ca559184431eeb45d2255ce555210b9828d080fa2d649

## 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 (volunteer 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.
