## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
ACTIVE THREAT — multiple warning signs
Composite threat score: 44/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Sophos
URLQuery:        2 detections

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      163.61.188.2
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-19 13:58:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies apexcourierservice.site as a confirmed courier-themed phishing domain designed to impersonate a delivery service in order to harvest shipping credentials and payment data.  This domain is a generic phishing site with no clear brand target, suggesting opportunistic credential harvesting rather than a specific high-value brand attack. The threat actor leverages urgency (e.g., 'missed delivery') to trick victims into entering personal and financial details. Based on available threat intel, the site does not appear to use a JavaScript drainer kit—likely relying on deceptive forms hosted directly on the domain.  

Technical indicators confirm this domain’s malicious intent. VirusTotal reports a detection rate of 9/95 security vendors as of seed 602f5f. The domain was registered on December 30, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to IP 163.61.188.2. It utilizes a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for legitimacy signaling. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has marked the domain as unsafe, and multiple blocklists are flagging it. Freshness and minimal age (just days old) increase the risk of unpatched user systems encountering the domain.  

As of the latest analysis, apexcourierservice.site remains active and poses an elevated risk to potential victims. PhishDestroy recommends immediate network-level blocking of the domain and IP. Users should avoid interaction and verify suspicious delivery notifications through official channels. While takedown actions may occur, the domain’s recent registration and active status indicate ongoing risk. Exercise caution with unsolicited shipping notifications and scan endpoints for signs of compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260419-4D9109
Favicon MD5:       5bced74708dac2d3aec9a42eef7c47db
TLS cert SHA-256:      3dc2972314176339578a92f5ab3bcb0667b22e70e27a36d94f6d747d94a596e6

## 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.
