Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies artichaud.brussels as a high-risk generic phishing domain. It has been actively involved in malicious activities since its creation in January 2015, posing significant threats to users. Technical analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP 41.185.8.68 and was registered via Combell nv. It appeared in 21 AlienVault OTX pulses, featured on two security blocklists, and was flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, confirming its malicious nature. Currently, artichaud.brussels is offline, reflecting effective takedown efforts. PhishDestroy continues monitoring for any resurgence or related threats linked to this infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: d5a89e26beae0bc03ad18a0b0d1d3d75f87c32047879d25da11970cb5c4662a3 TLS cert SHA-256: 56ef6785b7d5ea589e9c1ab4774c19045c06516037a33a4d9dac9ddf2d883ad1 ## 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/artichaud.brussels/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=artichaud.brussels 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.
