# PhishDestroy threat dossier — api.preview-flow.abqweather.com
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 03:43:45 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.preview-flow.abqweather.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      9/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       eNom, 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 13:00:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:20 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

api.preview-flow.abqweather.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

The domain api.preview-flow.abqweather.com is currently classified as a high‑risk phishing infrastructure. Analysis shows the site returns an HTTP 301 redirect, indicating an active web service that likely forwards victims to a malicious payload or credential‑harvesting endpoint. VirusTotal scans reported nine detections out of ninety‑one participating vendors, providing independent confirmation of suspicious activity. The domain has been listed on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation platform, reinforcing the presence of known malicious behavior. Its operational status is listed as active, and no additional intelligence such as registration details, hosting ASN, or geographic location is available in the current data set. Defenders should prioritize the immediate blocking of api.preview-flow.abqweather.com at perimeter firewalls, DNS resolvers, and endpoint protection solutions. Continuous monitoring for related hostnames or subdomains is advisable, as phishing campaigns often expand their infrastructure rapidly. Updating internal threat feeds with the observed indicators will help reduce exposure to this active phishing vector.

## 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.
