Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] apex-proposal-growth.live: Confirmed Credential Harvesting This domain, apex-proposal-growth.live, is currently under investigation for credential harvesting phishing activity targeting enterprise users. Analysis indicates the site is designed to mimic corporate proposal portals, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this time. The domain remains active and unblocked across security platforms. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 03, 2026 through Name.com, Inc. and resolves to IP address 185.158.133.1. Despite its recent creation date, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan. The site employs Cloudflare hosting services and presents a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may contribute to its apparent legitimacy. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades have been recorded in public threat intelligence repositories. Current assessment places this domain in active phishing status with no confirmed takedowns or sinkholing. Security teams are advised to implement immediate network-level blocking of 185.158.133.1 and apex-proposal-growth.live at all perimeter defenses. Endpoint protection rules should be updated to flag any process attempting to connect to this domain or IP. Given the domain's use of Cloudflare and valid SSL, organizations should verify that SSL inspection is properly configured to detect malicious payloads. Monitoring for credential submission attempts to this domain is recommended, with particular attention to corporate proposal workflows that may be targeted. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-D88199 TLS cert SHA-256: 19f8515af09f4b069e14e69f72bdc85ffd7cfa0700fdeea688728c21f32dea3f ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/apex-proposal-growth.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apex-proposal-growth.live Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
