================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 11:14:20 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.hotfix-flow.patiobydesign.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, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, 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 13:00:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 12:20:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

admin.hotfix-flow.patiobydesign.com hosts high‑risk generic

The domain admin.hotfix-flow.patiobydesign.com was observed on July 19, 2026 as an active infrastructure element supporting a generic phishing campaign. HTTP analysis shows the server returns a 301 redirect, indicating the domain forwards requests to another location. The domain is listed on one public security blocklist and has been identified by the PhishDestroy service as a blocked phishing source. VirusTotal scans have resulted in nine of ninety‑one security vendors flagging the domain, confirming malicious intent. The risk rating assigned is high, reflecting the potential impact of credential harvesting associated with generic phishing. No additional technical artefacts such as IP address, ASN, or registration details are currently disclosed, leaving the broader hosting environment uncertain. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, update threat intelligence feeds with the observed indicators, and monitor for any related redirects or newly‑registered sub‑domains that may be leveraged in future campaigns.

## 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.
