Assessment

On 2026-10-01, aftcohq.shop returned an HTTP 301 response, indicating a recorded status code rather than direct page content. The domain was first observed in monitoring sources on 2026-09-24, providing a reference point for subsequent records.

Recorded Evidence

VirusTotal recorded 9 detections from 91 scanners on 2026-09-28. OTX noted 3 pulses on 2026-09-26, and PhishDestroy's internal listing included the domain. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / YE1 and scanned on 2026-09-25, while the registrar is Dynadot Inc.

Interpretation

The VirusTotal and OTX entries represent independent security-related observations, each with their own specific dates and criteria. The HTTP 301 response documents the status for that particular check and does not describe all possible content or uses of aftcohq.shop. The presence in PhishDestroy's catalogue and the initial observation date show that the domain was included in multiple monitoring sources within a short period.

Recommended Actions

Review and retain the VirusTotal and OTX records for aftcohq.shop for future reference and comparison. Keep the PhishDestroy listing and the HTTP response as distinct source records. Conduct additional checks on aftcohq.shop and compare new findings with these preserved records to inform any further steps.
