Is altavapor.com a phishing site?

Analysis as of July 22, 2026 indicates that altavapor.com is actively leveraged for generic phishing. The domain resolves to 192.0.78.249, an IP owned by Automattic Inc. and located in the United States. DNS is served by ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com and ns3.wordpress.com, confirming that the site is hosted on the WordPress.com platform. The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WR1 authority, which is typical for WordPress‑hosted sites, but does not mitigate the malicious intent observed elsewhere. HTTP requests receive a 301 redirect, and the page title reported by crawlers is “ONYX”, a value that offers no legitimate branding context.

The site appears on one public security blocklist and is specifically listed by PhishDestroy as a confirmed phishing source. VirusTotal scans show that 2 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion despite the majority of scanners returning clean results. Detected technologies include WordPress, MySQL, PHP, Nginx, jQuery, Cloudflare and Slider Revolution, all common to legitimate WordPress installations but also frequently abused by threat actors. The registrar record shows registration through Automattic Inc., the same entity that operates WordPress.com, which limits the ability to take down the infrastructure without coordination with the provider.

At present, no further content analysis has been published, leaving the exact phishing payload or target brand unknown. Defenders should block altavapor.com at network perimeter, add it to URL filtering lists, and monitor for any credential‑stealing traffic originating from the 192.0.78.249 address. Coordination with WordPress.com hosting and PhishDestroy is recommended to accelerate takedown actions. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the domain remains active and may evolve its malicious campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f1b192a0d533d4a7d891a5f28b00c90e
TLS cert SHA-256:      78c5b3860175548019814a826948c7da11fb47c68a12ed0b661df21b91a19d0e

## 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.
