# PhishDestroy threat dossier — approvedexperiencestraveller.website ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 11:16:30 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.website/ ## 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: 2464f74f70a434eb00deafabae4c57a923f45eeebc9b07af11ae3d52fde07161 ## 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 09:00:06 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: 2026-03-16 18:04:25 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/019c4b99-d3fe-76df-bc39-30866f0345ab/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f06f60e3-54c1-4828-9e91-d53ec08ae688 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/approvedexperiencestraveller.website crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.approvedexperiencestraveller.website Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=approvedexperiencestraveller.website AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/approvedexperiencestraveller.website URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/approvedexperiencestraveller.website/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:51:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified approvedexperiencestraveller.website as a domain associated with generic phishing activities, though its current risk level is considered low. This website, which once promoted itself under the guise of travel experiences, has been flagged due to suspicious intent to deceive visitors. Users should be aware that phishing domains often attempt to trick individuals into revealing personal or financial information by mimicking legitimate services. The deceptive tactics employed by this domain involve creating a seemingly trustworthy landing page titled "Approved - Travel Experiences," designed to lure unsuspecting users interested in travel offers. Once engaged, the site may prompt visitors to provide sensitive data such as login credentials or payment details, which can then be exploited by malicious actors. Despite the domain being flagged on one security blocklist and having a poor trust score, it was only detected by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a relatively low detection footprint. Users who have visited approvedexperiencestraveller.website should remain vigilant. It is recommended to avoid entering any personal information on this domain or related sites. If any credentials or financial data were submitted, changing passwords and monitoring accounts for unusual activity is crucial. Additionally, enabling two-factor authentication where possible can help mitigate potential damage. Since the domain is currently offline, the immediate threat is reduced, but caution should always be exercised regarding similar suspicious travel-related offers online. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260211-91FF77 Favicon MD5: 6eda435767b2e6bd2b51ed2070dfa3c3 TLS cert SHA-256: 2464f74f70a434eb00deafabae4c57a923f45eeebc9b07af11ae3d52fde07161 ## 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.website/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=approvedexperiencestraveller.website 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.
