Nameservers: dns1.p08.nsone.net, dns2.p08.nsone.net, dns3.p08.nsone.net, dns4.p08.nsone.net Registered: 2026-06-25 Expires: 2027-06-25 Page title: Booking.com Careers ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 345147a2f837397e8a8274c79654b6e1416f8467850c3aad6dc62e1f0f21c795 ## 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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 22:47:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-07 00:25:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f392f-2921-768b-9fee-b20f7abba1cb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/booking-careers.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.booking-careers.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=booking-careers.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/booking-careers.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/booking-careers.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 22:55:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain booking-careers.com is currently identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat, specifically mimicking the brand Booking.com. This impersonation is indicative of a generic phishing threat designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate job application portal. No specific drainer kit was identified; however, the primary intent appears to be the exploitation of users through social engineering tactics. Technical indicators reveal a VirusTotal detection score of 14/95, suggesting that 14 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain due to its malicious characteristics. The domain was registered through Name.com, Inc. and has a creation date of June 25, 2026, indicating a relatively recent establishment that may align with an evolving phishing landscape. The domain resolves to IP address 35.157.26.135 and has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering, alongside being listed on one security blocklist, specifically InversionDNS, highlighting its recognized malicious potential. The domain remains active at this time and poses a significant risk to users, particularly those seeking employment opportunities with the Booking.com brand. Response actions should include immediate social engineering awareness training for potential targets, vigilance in monitoring user reports of phishing attempts, and potentially requesting takedown of the site from appropriate authorities. Remaining risks include ongoing user exposure and the possibility of the domain evolving its tactics to evade detection, necessitating continuous monitoring and threat assessment. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 72aad87fa56b15aa1adb0d9c9a1dfea1 TLS cert SHA-256: 345147a2f837397e8a8274c79654b6e1416f8467850c3aad6dc62e1f0f21c795 ## 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/booking-careers.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=booking-careers.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.
