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

Fetched:   2026-07-22 06:08:17 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/api.remoterd.patiobydesign.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, CyRadar, 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:     2026-07-22 04:20:20 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:25:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Is api.remoterd.patiobydesign.com a Scam?

The domain api.remoterd.patiobydesign.com is currently listed as a high‑risk generic phishing site. Analysis shows the domain is still active despite being blocked by the PhishDestroy sinkhole, indicating that the malicious infrastructure remains operational. HTTP requests to the domain receive a 301 redirect response, a behavior commonly used to forward victims to a credential‑harvesting page or to obscure the final landing location. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and has been reported to VirusTotal, where nine out of ninety‑one scanners flagged it as malicious. No additional intelligence such as page content, targeted brand, or phishing kit has been disclosed, leaving the exact payload and victim profile uncertain. Defenders should add the fully qualified domain name to network‑level deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the subdomain, and consider sinkholing any traffic that resolves to it. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the threat actor may modify the redirect target or deploy new phishing assets without further notice.

## 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.
