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

Fetched:   2026-07-21 16:36:33 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.remote.patiobydesign.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 54/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, 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 13:00:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-21 16:20:23 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

api.remote.patiobydesign.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

api.remote.patiobydesign.com is currently listed as an active generic phishing site. VirusTotal records show that eight of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate. The HTTP response returns a 301 redirect, a behavior commonly used to conceal the final landing page or to funnel victims through intermediary infrastructure. The domain is presently blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole and appears on a single external blocklist, confirming that at least one mitigation service has taken action. The risk rating is high, and the status remains active, meaning the infrastructure is still reachable. No additional metadata such as ASN, hosting location, or target brand has been disclosed, so the full scope of the campaign cannot be determined. Defenders should proactively deny DNS resolution for the domain, add it to URL filtering and web‑proxy block lists, and monitor outbound traffic for HTTP 301 responses to the same host. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any changes in detection status.

## 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.
