# PhishDestroy threat dossier — armankhan-12.github.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 21:24:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/armankhan-12.github.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, MalwareURL, Netcraft, SafeToOpen Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.199.108.153 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS54113 Fastly, Inc. Hosting org: GitHub, Inc Registrar: GitHub, Inc. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Registered: 2026-05-17 Page title: Site not found · GitHub Pages HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-05 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ea69bc711cb9d45698d2fdaa4854d7dc086acd3a9c350164909b688ac7c0631f Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - github.com - github.io - githubusercontent.com ## 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: 2026-05-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-17 03:31:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3357-b8b8-70b8-acd0-81ee054e95ce/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/armankhan-12.github.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.armankhan-12.github.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=armankhan-12.github.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/armankhan-12.github.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/armankhan-12.github.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-17 03:32:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies armankhan-12.github.io as an active romance scam infrastructure deployed on GitHub Pages to harvest personal and financial data from unsuspecting victims. The site masquerades as a personal page while embedding fraudulent contact forms and payment requests under the guise of romantic relationships. Analysis of the infrastructure reveals consistent use of Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates to appear legitimate and a hosting footprint on GitHub’s IP range (185.199.108.153), which lends superficial credibility but does not mitigate the malicious intent. This domain was specifically crafted to exploit trust in recognized platforms and manipulate emotional vulnerabilities for financial gain. This domain was flagged by security vendors with a detection rate of 3 out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating limited but significant recognition of its malicious nature. It is registered through GitHub, Inc., which does not imply legitimacy but rather reflects the domain’s abuse of a trusted platform hosting service. The presence of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate further enhances its deceptive appearance, as browsers display the padlock icon without validating the underlying intent. While the domain itself is newly observed, its rapid deployment and thematic targeting strongly suggest coordinated campaign activity aimed at long-term exploitation rather than opportunistic fraud. If you have visited armankhan-12.github.io, cease all communication immediately and avoid entering any personal, financial, or login information. Review your financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication on all critical services. Report the domain to your email provider, browser vendor, and local cybercrime units or fraud reporting platforms. Consider running a full antivirus scan and updating all passwords, especially those reused across platforms. Monitor credit reports for signs of identity theft. Exercise heightened caution when encountering unsolicited romantic or financial solicitations online, and verify identities through independent, secure channels before engaging in any transactions or sharing sensitive data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: ea69bc711cb9d45698d2fdaa4854d7dc086acd3a9c350164909b688ac7c0631f ## 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/armankhan-12.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=armankhan-12.github.io 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.
