## 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 08:52:59 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:       2026-03-16 06:05:30 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:51:24 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.properties as a domain involved in generic phishing activities with a low risk level. While only a small number of security vendors flagged it, and it appears on one security blocklist, this site was taken offline and currently poses minimal threat. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com and resolves to an IP address linked to potential phishing attempts targeting travelers.

This phishing scheme typically involves mimicking legitimate travel experience services to trick users into divulging sensitive information such as passwords or payment details. The domain’s page title, "Approved - Travel Experiences," is designed to instill trust, making it more likely for users to interact with the site and fall victim to data theft.

If you visited approvedexperiencestraveller.properties, it is recommended to avoid entering any personal information and scan your devices for malware. Monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider updating passwords if you suspect any credentials were compromised. Staying cautious and verifying the legitimacy of travel-related domains can prevent further exposure to phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260211-05AA64
Favicon MD5:       6eda435767b2e6bd2b51ed2070dfa3c3
TLS cert SHA-256:      1a848493bdd28eb98473a7b39295fef15eb401ac7525c21489848f1f04bba719

## 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.
