# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.gammonef.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 08:18:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.gammonef.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 176.97.79.105 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: ASAS58061 SCALAXY-AS Scalaxy B.V., LV Hosting org: AS58061 Scalaxy B.V. Registrar: REGRU-RU Nameservers: ["eugene.ns.cloudflare.com", "faye.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-05-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 12ded3c1b94127857d476d8b04986f3593d4d8a8a937af95e5c7e9ea22edeae0 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.api.gammonef.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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:41:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198f697-8b91-726f-bc19-9763ae96d1d5/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/api.gammonef.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.api.gammonef.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=api.gammonef.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/api.gammonef.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/api.gammonef.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:50:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified api.gammonef.com as a domain involved in generic phishing activities. Although the risk level is assessed as low, caution is advised due to its association with deceptive tactics aimed at harvesting sensitive user information. The domain's relatively recent creation date suggests it may have been established specifically for malicious purposes. Technical analysis reveals that api.gammonef.com resolves to the IP address 176.97.79.105. VirusTotal flagged this domain by 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but noteworthy detection. Additionally, it appears on one security blocklist, further confirming suspicion around its intent. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and was likely utilized in phishing campaigns targeting unsuspecting users. Currently, api.gammonef.com is offline, which reduces immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining vigilance and avoiding any interaction with this domain or similar suspicious URLs. Organizations should continue monitoring for any resurgence or related domains to mitigate potential threats effectively. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 12ded3c1b94127857d476d8b04986f3593d4d8a8a937af95e5c7e9ea22edeae0 ## 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.gammonef.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=api.gammonef.com 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.
