Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Go Daddy, 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: 73aeefe65ade380ca5d87631326aed9832f456b71141b11c4927aedfb7eab3c1 ## 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 08:50:52 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:51:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-17 00:03:37 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/019c4b96-e833-7616-81bd-73a8334e70aa/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ba0b3009-827f-43a7-aa5b-770710d81964 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/approvedexperiencestraveller.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.approvedexperiencestraveller.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=approvedexperiencestraveller.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/approvedexperiencestraveller.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:29:11 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.online as a medium-risk phishing domain targeting unsuspecting users under the guise of travel experiences. Such threats aim to steal sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss or identity theft. The domain was registered via Go Daddy, LLC, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3. Created in February 2026, it scored 0/100 on the Gridinsoft trust scale and was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. It appeared on one security blocklist before being taken offline. Users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or sharing personal data. Employ updated security tools and verify website authenticity before entering sensitive information to prevent phishing risks. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-0CCF3B Favicon MD5: 803f49f029c2b8fc69a48754763508b0 TLS cert SHA-256: 73aeefe65ade380ca5d87631326aed9832f456b71141b11c4927aedfb7eab3c1 ## 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.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=approvedexperiencestraveller.online 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.
