Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Warning: advertisingeffectively.com is a High-Risk Threat The domain advertisingeffectively.com has been identified as a high-risk phishing threat, with a registration date of October 24, 2025. It is currently active and has been flagged due to its presence on a security blocklist. Analysis shows that the domain is registered through Unstoppable Domains Inc., which may indicate a motivation to obscure ownership and enhance its operational security. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which can be further investigated for associations with other malicious infrastructures. According to known intelligence, 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, suggesting a moderate level of recognition among security tools. Further evidence shows that the domain is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. Given the current status of the domain and its recent registration, it is advisable for defenders to monitor any communications or activities associated with this domain closely, especially as it may potentially engage in generic phishing tactics aimed at compromising user credentials or sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260720-672180 TLS cert SHA-256: 58adaa733b1924b1967a11445983c286c463002aecaa5a7605c9cad653e0b965 ## 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/advertisingeffectively.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=advertisingeffectively.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.
