## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 66/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Banking Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, DNS8, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-26

## 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.

booking.com.searchresults Scam Site Unmasked

This domain poses an elevated risk categorized under generic phishing. Its primary objective is to deceive users by mimicking legitimate websites, in this case, using a seemingly related name to a popular brand. The risk level is increased due to its potential to collect sensitive user information through fraudulent means. This tactic is particularly deceptive as it leverages trust linked to known brands, making it a significant threat vector for unsuspecting users.

Analysis of the domain booking.com.searchresults.htm.prop715021.homes reveals its creation on March 26, 2026. According to VirusTotal, the domain has been flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors as malicious, indicating a moderate detection rate. Despite only being listed on one security blocklist, its inclusion by PhishDestroy, a known blocklist, suggests that there are credible concerns regarding its use or potential misuse. Currently, the domain is offline, which may mitigate immediate risks but doesn't eliminate the potential for it to reappear under a new guise or different hosting environment.

To mitigate the risks associated with phishing domains like this one, it is crucial for users and network administrators to implement robust email and web filtering solutions that can block access to flagged domains. Regularly updating threat intelligence databases can aid in identifying and responding to such domains swiftly. Additionally, promoting cybersecurity awareness and educating users about recognizing phishing attempts can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches or financial loss. Vigilance and proactive security measures remain essential in defending against phishing threats.

## 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.
