Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["colette.ns.cloudflare.com", "everton.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-20 Page title: Approved - Travel Experiences ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3f950ee21495b457f38209d7d13292c0aaadfef4c89fd16b325e681939ed8f1e ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-11 08:41:57 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 06:13:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c4b93-919d-7601-bfa9-d99291e8071e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/92d15c2e-c030-4ddc-9e08-9deb0c9d203a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/approvedexperiencestraveller.center crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.approvedexperiencestraveller.center Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=approvedexperiencestraveller.center AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.center URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/approvedexperiencestraveller.center/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:51:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies approvedexperiencestraveller.center as a low-risk generic phishing domain. The site was designed to deceive users under the guise of travel-related services, but posed minimal threat due to limited detection and activity. Supporting intelligence reveals that this domain appeared on one security blocklist and received a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating very low trustworthiness. It resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered via GoDaddy.com, LLC on February 21, 2026. VirusTotal analysis flagged 2 out of 95 security vendors, suggesting only sporadic detection among security tools. The site’s page titled "Approved - Travel Experiences" likely aimed to lure users with travel offers or services to harvest sensitive information. Currently, the domain is offline, removing immediate risk to users. Despite its low risk, users should remain cautious of similar travel-themed phishing attempts and avoid engaging with suspicious or unfamiliar travel experience websites. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining updated security solutions and verifying domains before providing any personal or financial information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-8E49E0 Favicon MD5: 6eda435767b2e6bd2b51ed2070dfa3c3 TLS cert SHA-256: 3f950ee21495b457f38209d7d13292c0aaadfef4c89fd16b325e681939ed8f1e ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.center/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=approvedexperiencestraveller.center Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
