# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.bot-qa.patiobydesign.com
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-21 11:09:55 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.bot-qa.patiobydesign.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns1.dreamhost.com", "ns2.dreamhost.com", "ns3.dreamhost.com"]

## 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 13:00:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 12:20:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

api.bot-qa.patiobydesign.com Safety Check — Phishing Detected

This domain, api.bot-qa.patiobydesign.com, is currently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing site. The HTTP response observed is a 301 redirect, indicating that the server is actively forwarding requests, which is a common tactic to obscure the final malicious payload location. The domain appears on one public blocklist and has been incorporated into the PhishDestroy filter set, confirming its recognition by at least one dedicated anti‑phishing service. VirusTotal analysis shows that 10 of 91 scanned security vendors have raised detections against the domain, providing independent corroboration of malicious intent. The overall status is listed as active, meaning the infrastructure remains reachable. No additional intelligence such as hosting IP addresses, registrar details, or timestamps beyond the provided report date is currently available, limiting a deeper infrastructure attribution. Defenders should immediately add api.bot-qa.patiobydesign.com to outbound and inbound block lists, ensure that web filtering solutions reference the latest blocklist feeds, and monitor DNS queries for any related sub‑domains that may appear. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and periodic checks against emerging blocklists are advised to capture any changes in detection counts or new associated indicators.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
