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

Fetched:   2026-07-21 09:37:38 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.mail.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:     2026-07-21 08:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

admin.mail.abqweather.com — Phishing Investigation Report

The domain admin.mail.abqweather.com is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure and remains active as of the report date, July 19, 2026. VirusTotal scans show that 9 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a measurable detection consensus. The site returns an HTTP 301 redirect, a behavior often used to forward victims to malicious credential‑harvesting pages. It is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. No additional intelligence such as hosting ASN, registration details, or payload analysis has been released, leaving the full scope of the campaign uncertain. Defenders should add admin.mail.abqweather.com to URL filtering and DNS blocklists, monitor for outbound connections to the domain, and enforce multi‑factor authentication for any accounts that could be targeted by credential‑stealing attempts. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case further indicators of compromise emerge.

## 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.
