## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-04-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-07 03:20:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-24 01:40:13 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 10:20:42 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-07 03:22:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies applerastreo.com as an active generic phishing domain falsely claiming to provide Apple device tracking services. This domain attempts to harvest sensitive user credentials by leveraging fake tracking functionality, thereby enabling potential financial fraud and identity theft. Current risk level remains under investigation, though operational status is confirmed active as of threat analysis.  This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a low immediate detection rate despite its malicious intent. The threat infrastructure points to IP address 167.86.107.235, registered through Sav.com, LLC, using a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate for deception. Notably, the domain was created on April 06, 2026, a suspiciously recent date suggestive of opportunistic malfeasance aligned with seed signature fc0c4d.  Users are advised to treat applerastreo.com as a confirmed phishing threat targeting Apple users. Refrain from entering any personal or financial information on the site. Cross-reference tracking requests via Apple’s official iCloud.com or Find My iPhone portals. Security teams should consider blocking the domain and associated IP in network defenses. This report will be updated as new intelligence emerges, particularly concerning the low detection rate despite clear malicious indicators.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 19/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0a81714b61002c2c25a197ce6c45e694
TLS cert SHA-256:      ec0a12514327f8125d63ce3b6ae991b321a07bdfb7e6a9bd60d2c9ffe28130b7

## 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.
