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: 2024-10-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:02:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:12:12 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b68-ed00-75c0-b9f3-02610cb11bf8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/19d3fe9b-2c48-47d5-97b7-c19d5a572d43 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ayerxhub.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ayerxhub.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ayerxhub.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ayerxhub.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ayerxhub.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:05:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, ayerxhub.com, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through fraudulent login portals. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate authentication pages, tricking victims into submitting sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The threat type is classified as generic_phishing with a focus on credential theft, posing significant risks to both individual and organizational security. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on October 01, 2024, through DNS Africa Ltd, a registrar frequently associated with newly established malicious domains. It resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7, which has been linked to other suspicious activities in recent threat intelligence reports. As of the latest scan, only 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, suggesting it may still evade detection in some environments. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic used by threat actors to lend a false sense of legitimacy to phishing pages. No widespread blocklist inclusion has been observed yet, but the domain remains active and operational. To mitigate risks associated with this credential harvesting phishing site, organizations should immediately block the domain ayerxhub.com and its resolving IP 163.61.188.7 at the network perimeter. Endpoint protection solutions should be updated to include this domain in their phishing detection rules. Users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to reset their credentials, particularly if they entered login details or other sensitive information. Security teams are advised to monitor for unusual authentication attempts and enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to reduce the impact of potential credential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-3DACA6 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 9b69726cb3d808749406237767edb4c18039ce9f694806f9c3a5c58cba8394f6 ## 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/ayerxhub.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ayerxhub.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.
