# PhishDestroy threat dossier — advertisinghunt.net
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 00:53:32 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/advertisinghunt.net/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Virtualia LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns1.bh-25.webhostbox.net", "ns2.bh-25.webhostbox.net"]
HTTP response:   200

## 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 13:00:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 00:20:28 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-21 12:25:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is advertisinghunt.net a phishing site?

Analysis of advertisinghunt.net indicates that it is currently classified as a generic phishing threat with a high risk rating. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming active mitigation by at least one anti‑phishing solution. An HTTP request to the host returns a 200 OK status, suggesting that the site remains reachable and is serving content. VirusTotal reports that six of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, providing additional independent corroboration of malicious intent. The domain’s status is reported as active, and no further infrastructure details such as IP addresses, registrars, or ASN information are available in the present intelligence. Defenders should prioritize adding advertisinghunt.net to denial‑list policies, ensure that DNS filtering solutions block resolution of the domain, and monitor outbound traffic for any connections to the host. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the limited visibility may evolve with additional telemetry.

## 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.
