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: 2025-11-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:56:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:09:41 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 15:45:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b63-761d-7439-a622-90aaae35c329/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/87090171-de29-4252-8511-5e8de1506661 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/advancedpcedutt-edu.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.advancedpcedutt-edu.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=advancedpcedutt-edu.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/advancedpcedutt-edu.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/advancedpcedutt-edu.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:56:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain advancedpcedutt-edu.com poses a specific threat of credential theft. This is evidenced by its misleading title, APCETT - A.P. College of Education and Teacher Training, which aims to impersonate a legitimate educational institution. Users may be lured to provide sensitive information under the pretense of educational services, making this a serious risk for individuals unaware of the fraudulent nature of the website. Evidence from threat intelligence sources confirms the domain is registered through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown and was created recently on November 19, 2025. It currently resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7. Security analysis from VirusTotal indicates a low detection rate, with only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain, suggesting it has not yet been widely recognized as a threat. Additionally, the Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is notably low at 0 out of 100, and it has been identified in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. Users who may have visited advancedpcedutt-edu.com are recommended to take immediate action. This includes monitoring their online accounts for any unauthorized activity and changing passwords if they provided credentials to the site. Furthermore, individuals should ensure that their security software is updated and consider running a malware scan to mitigate potential infections. It is crucial to remain vigilant against such impersonation attempts to protect personal information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-D9832B Favicon MD5: fb149e4871121809d34ecf96d7d78657 TLS cert SHA-256: c6304b4e4194d4ba3563f4a9169a047e845d23607633bdbdf5bb27c53caa92f4 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/advancedpcedutt-edu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=advancedpcedutt-edu.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
