aetheropinion.com — Generic Phishing Investigation

This domain, aetheropinion.com, was registered on 19 Nov 2025 through GoDaddy and is currently active. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 47.88.23.120 and the domain is served by Cloudflare nameservers marty.ns.cloudflare.com and zainab.ns.cloudflare.com. Google Safe Browsing lists the domain under the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING category, and VirusTotal reports that five of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have flagged it, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate. The threat classification supplied is generic_phishing, and the risk rating is high. No additional infrastructure such as extra IPs, hosting details, or observed payloads has been published, so the exact phishing campaign mechanics remain unknown. Defenders should block or sandbox any network traffic to aetheropinion.com, monitor DNS queries for the listed nameservers, and incorporate the domain into URL filtering and email security policies. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further intelligence becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260717-B3CD79
Favicon MD5:       1866060ddb54207c07e65e1b8f43c0f9
TLS cert SHA-256:      13dd0a01531448b5cb7b285906dcab8456659dc6afb0121f922610dad9a12f99

## 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.
