# PhishDestroy threat dossier — admin.ares.abqweather.com
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 11:19:42 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.ares.abqweather.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       eNom, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns1.dreamhost.com", "ns2.dreamhost.com", "ns3.dreamhost.com"]

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-19 13:00:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 12:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

admin.ares.abqweather.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of admin.ares.abqweather.com shows it is actively serving a HTTP 301 redirect and is presently listed as high‑risk. The domain is blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on one public security blocklist, confirming that defensive feeds have identified it as malicious infrastructure. VirusTotal reports nine positive detections out of ninety‑one scanned engines, indicating that multiple vendors have observed suspicious behavior associated with the host. The site remains active, but no public page content, phishing kit, or targeted brand has been disclosed in the available intelligence, leaving the exact victim‑interaction flow uncertain. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution to the domain, add it to network‑level deny lists, and monitor for any outbound connections that may indicate compromised clients attempting to follow the redirect. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional payload or credential‑ harvesting details may emerge if the redirect target is later analyzed.

## 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.
