## 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

Last verified:     2026-07-23 00:20:33 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is admin.partner.abqweather.com a Fake Partner Portal Scam?

Analysis indicates that admin.partner.abqweather.com is an active phishing domain flagged by security vendors as of July 19, 2026. The domain returns an HTTP 301 redirect, suggesting it is configured to forward visitors to another location, a common tactic in phishing infrastructure to obscure the final malicious destination. Nine out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, reinforcing its classification as a high-risk threat. It appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy, further corroborating its use in phishing operations.  Infrastructure details reveal the domain is still active, with no evidence of takedown or remediation. The subdomain 'admin.partner' implies an attempt to impersonate an administrative or partner portal, though the exact brand or service being targeted is not specified in available data. No phishing kit or specific scam type has been identified at this stage, and the content of the site remains unanalyzed. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and implement blocking measures at the network and endpoint levels. Given its current status, monitoring for changes in redirect behavior or additional detections is recommended.

## 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.
