# PhishDestroy threat dossier — alarm.vodacom.co.za
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 22:02:43 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/alarm.vodacom.co.za/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 45/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
HTTP response:   401

## 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 12:59:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 20:20:21 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:56 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

alarm.vodacom.co.za used for generic phishing campaign

This domain alarm.vodacom.co.za is currently active and returns an HTTP 302 redirect. It has been listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal records indicate the domain was submitted to 91 scanners, none of which generated a detection at the time of analysis; the absence of detections does not imply the site is benign. The infrastructure behind the domain has not been publicly disclosed, and no additional metadata such as hosting ASN, registration details, or page content is available in the shared intelligence. Because the domain is associated with a generic phishing classification, defenders should treat any traffic to the host as potentially malicious. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain to web‑filter deny lists, enforcing TLS inspection to observe the final landing page after the redirect, and monitoring for any related command‑and‑control or credential‑harvesting activity. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further evidence may emerge.

## 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.
