Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies api.bots.business as a medium-risk phishing domain. This site has been linked to generic phishing campaigns aimed at deceiving users, potentially to steal credentials or personal information. Though the exact brand impersonation is not clearly defined, its suspicious nature and user risks are significant enough to warrant caution. The domain api.bots.business was registered on September 28, 2017, through URL Solutions, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 5.252.32.57. It is flagged on two security blocklists and holds low trust scores from multiple security intelligence sources, including a Scamadviser score of 1/100 and a Gridinsoft score of 0/100. VirusTotal analysis indicates that 8 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, further confirming concerns around its safety. Currently, the domain is offline, which suggests it may have been taken down following detection and reporting. Users are strongly advised not to visit or interact with api.bots.business. It's recommended to maintain updated security software, exercise caution when clicking on unsolicited links, and report suspicious domains to digital security authorities to help prevent phishing attacks. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 8/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 7f5d64ec20b05f9be38016ea524344901b89e5bb38a4e3b2a64973fbf9da0623 TLS cert SHA-256: c23992a755a693af8f85fc61d9e964b1d2a9449049af32be41ee23b88bfd6bd5 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.bots.business/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api.bots.business 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
