# PhishDestroy threat dossier — advanceamerica.sbs ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 03:07:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/advanceamerica.sbs/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 46.202.183.246 (US, Boston) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Loan Application | Advance America HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 04:42:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 01:43:15 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-01 04:44:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:06:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dadb3-33ea-762a-9977-02768c017191/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/75693737-684e-4430-9b61-422a99ac6b2e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/advanceamerica.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.advanceamerica.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=advanceamerica.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/advanceamerica.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/advanceamerica.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 04:42:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies advanceamerica.sbs as an active brand impersonation domain currently under investigation for hosting a generic phishing campaign. This domain mimics the legitimate Advance America financial services brand to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency. The campaign is classified as active with no current detections on VirusTotal as of July 2025. Users are advised to treat all interactions with this domain as high-risk until further intelligence is available. This domain resolves to IP address 46.202.183.246 and is registered through Hostinger operations, UAB with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The domain was created on July 16, 2025, indicating a very recent registration consistent with opportunistic brand abuse tactics. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 vendors, suggesting this campaign has not yet been widely recognized by security platforms. The absence of blocklist entries and low trust scores reflects a newly emergent threat with minimal historical footprint. Given the lack of detection coverage and the domain's recent activation, PhishDestroy assesses this as a high-risk threat requiring immediate attention. Users should refrain from visiting advanceamerica.sbs or engaging with any content hosted on this domain. Network defenders are encouraged to block the domain at the DNS and firewall levels using the provided IP address. Security teams should monitor for associated indicators such as TLS certificate serials and newly registered domains with similar naming conventions. Immediate reporting to financial fraud units and brand protection teams is advised to prevent potential credential theft or financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-76F50A ## 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 (volunteer 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/advanceamerica.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=advanceamerica.sbs Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
