Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is assistance4.godaddysites.com a Phishing Site? Assistance4.godaddysites.com is currently listed as active malicious infrastructure. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 13.248.243.5, which is hosted by GoDaddy’s infrastructure. Registration data show the registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC, but the nameserver records are not available (NS_NOT_FOUND). The domain appears on two public phishing blocklists and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy and OpenPhish feeds, confirming that security communities have observed phishing‑related activity originating from it. VirusTotal has processed the domain and eight of ninety‑one scanning engines returned a malicious verdict, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. No additional telemetry such as SSL certificates, HTTP response codes, or page titles has been published, leaving those aspects uncertain. Because the domain is already flagged by multiple reputable blocklists and a subset of anti‑malware engines, network defenders should continue to deny any outbound or inbound traffic to assistance4.godaddysites.com, add the domain to local deny lists, and monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address 13.248.243.5. Organizations that rely on URL filtering should ensure the domain is covered by their phishing‑specific rules. Threat hunters may also query the IP for any related activity in their logs, as the same hosting provider often serves other malicious sites. Until further investigative data, such as page content or SSL fingerprint, becomes available, the safest posture is to treat the domain as malicious and block it. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 515f6b602beb3e9792bb5dcb0b74050b TLS cert SHA-256: 7f80729c4263c741db3e1303d1b17b7cb02c982559aba2db01572e698dffabfc ## 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 (operator 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/assistance4.godaddysites.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=assistance4.godaddysites.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
