# PhishDestroy threat dossier — approvedexperiencestraveller.space ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 13:00:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.space/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: DeFi Scam Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: 4a448b9403e79992bc77587fcfe554624590db27fbb9999a51ce2f5975a6864d ## 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 08:55:21 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: 2026-03-15 18:06:59 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/019c4b95-e58a-7396-b166-0b1ab1959ac5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/52e03536-73e8-44f5-94be-c9b6742a5b68 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/approvedexperiencestraveller.space crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.approvedexperiencestraveller.space Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=approvedexperiencestraveller.space AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.space URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/approvedexperiencestraveller.space/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:51:25 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.space as a generic phishing domain designed to deceive users under the guise of travel experiences. The domain name suggests legitimacy related to travel services, which is a common tactic to lure victims into providing sensitive data. It was created recently on February 21, 2026, indicating a short lifespan typical of phishing campaigns. Technically, the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is registered through Go Daddy, LLC. It has a very low trust score of 0/100 from Gridinsoft, and it appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows that only 2 of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, which likely contributed to its low-risk classification. The page title discovered was “Approved - Travel Experiences,” reinforcing its phishing intent by mimicking legitimate travel service branding. Currently, approvedexperiencestraveller.space is taken offline, effectively mitigating further risk. Users and administrators are advised to maintain vigilance and avoid interacting with this domain or similar suspicious travel-related sites. Monitoring related infrastructure and updating blocklists will help prevent future phishing attempts from this or related domains. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-28D6A5 Favicon MD5: 6eda435767b2e6bd2b51ed2070dfa3c3 TLS cert SHA-256: 4a448b9403e79992bc77587fcfe554624590db27fbb9999a51ce2f5975a6864d ## 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.space/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=approvedexperiencestraveller.space 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.
