## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 02:36:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Airbnb customers through deceptive VIP service offers. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest login credentials, payment details, or personal information under false pretenses of exclusive Airbnb benefits.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain airbnbvip.com was registered on April 25, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC and currently resolves to IP address 47.81.28.165. VirusTotal reports 7 out of 95 security vendors have detected malicious activity associated with this domain. The site presents a page title matching the legitimate Airbnb platform and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The creation date discrepancy (registered in 2026) suggests either a typo-squatting attempt or an error in registration records, further indicating suspicious intent.  Organizations and users should implement the following mitigation measures: block the domain airbnbvip.com and its resolving IP 47.81.28.165 at firewall and DNS levels. Security teams should add detection rules for the domain pattern 'airbnbvip' and monitor for similar brand impersonation attempts using variations of 'vip' or other premium service indicators. End users should be educated to verify domain authenticity by checking for the official Airbnb domain (airbnb.com) and looking for HTTPS certificate details before entering credentials. Any accounts accessed through this domain should be considered compromised and require immediate password reset through official channels.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260629-6F45BB
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      f5398759329189634cbc7980a4acf6a201b7385caf7f3318342ff17797389c01

## 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 (volunteer 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.
