## 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.

Last verified:     2026-06-21 12:20:39 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, apollogroups.tv, poses as the official Apollo Group TV streaming service but is actually a delivery scam designed to trick users into providing personal information or payment details. The site likely mimics the legitimate login page to steal credentials or push fraudulent offers, putting visitors at risk of identity theft and financial loss.

PhishDestroy identified this threat through multiple indicators. VirusTotal shows 15 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a strong signal of its dangerous nature. The domain was created on July 16, 2024, registered through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, and is currently offline after being taken down. It resolves to IP 104.18.211.89 and uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which can mislead users into thinking the site is secure.

If you visited apollogroups.tv, take immediate action: change any passwords entered on the site, monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized transactions, and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. Run a full antivirus scan on your device and avoid reusing passwords from this site elsewhere. Staying vigilant against such scams is key to protecting your online security.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6040b2bb33168a397cd9e17a2126f718
TLS cert SHA-256:      a98277693c7bac83c15cff6538c4f896c2ffa7e28d7d8bf37f199d6de8edd756

## 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.
