# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.iki.patiobydesign.com
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 00:34:36 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.iki.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 13:00:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 00:20:28 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-19 21:24:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

api.iki.patiobydesign.com – High‑Risk Generic Phishing Site

The domain api.iki.patiobydesign.com is currently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. Intelligence indicates it appears on one security blocklist and returns an HTTP 301 redirect, suggesting an attempt to forward victims to a malicious endpoint. VirusTotal analysis shows that 10 of 91 security vendors have marked the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. The domain is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, yet it remains active as of the report date, July 19, 2026. While the redirect behavior and vendor detections confirm malicious intent, no public details about the hosted content, targeted brand, or specific phishing kit have been released, leaving the exact payload and victim profile uncertain. Defenders should prioritize immediate containment: add the domain to DNS blocklists, enforce network‑level filtering, and update intrusion detection signatures to flag any HTTP 301 responses from this host. Continuous monitoring for outbound connections to the domain and correlating any associated URL patterns with existing threat intel will help identify potential compromise attempts. Given the high risk rating, organizations are advised to treat any traffic to this domain as hostile and to educate users about unsolicited redirects that may appear legitimate.

[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.
