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

Fetched:   2026-07-21 11:57:10 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.prod.abqweather.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, 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 12:20:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-19 21:28:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Is admin.prod.abqweather.com a Phishing Site?

Analysis indicates that the subdomain admin.prod.abqweather.com is currently active and serves HTTP 301 redirects. VirusTotal scans show that 10 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting a non‑trivial detection rate for malicious activity. The domain is listed on one known security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing the assessment of a phishing threat. No additional public intelligence such as page content, registration details, or hosting infrastructure has been released, leaving the exact phishing campaign tactics and targeted victims undefined. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk: incorporate it into outbound and inbound firewall deny lists, update DNS filtering policies, and ensure that web proxy or secure web gateway solutions block any connections to the domain. Continuous monitoring of threat intel feeds for new detections or additional blocklist listings is recommended, as further attribution may emerge. Until more detailed indicators are available, the precautionary approach of full blocking remains the most effective mitigation.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
