## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-18 14:40:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy assesses aponcht.info as a high-risk domain involved in generic phishing activities. This determination is based on multiple indicators suggesting malicious intent and active exploitation. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any associated content.

aponcht.info, created on September 03, 2025, is currently resolving to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal reports that 16 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. It also appears on 4 security blocklists, including OpenPhish, PhishingArmy, CERT-PL, and OISD. The domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC.

Given the confirmed phishing nature of aponcht.info, immediate action is required. Individuals should refrain from visiting the site, and network administrators should block the domain (aponcht.info) and the associated IP address (188.114.96.3) to prevent potential phishing attacks. It's crucial to educate users about phishing tactics and encourage vigilance when interacting with unfamiliar websites or communications.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260518-0711EC
Favicon MD5:       47d5408abb9f225af372d09f15391869

## 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.
