Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      12/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos
AlienVault OTX:  6 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.S.
Registered:      2025-06-20
Expires:         2026-06-20
HTTP response:   502

## 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: 2025-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-12 22:30:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:47:13 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-17 16:20:46 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 00:46:36 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 23:06:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential theft operation designed to harvest login credentials by impersonating legitimate booking verification services. Analysis indicates the site employs social engineering tactics to deceive users into submitting sensitive account details, including usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 20, 2025, through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A.S. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain at a rate of 12/95, while it appears on one active security blocklist. The domain has been included in six threat intelligence pulses on a collaborative threat platform and was proactively taken offline following detection. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers were identified in the available data, though the registrar’s history suggests potential ties to other credential phishing campaigns.  Organizations and users are advised to implement the following mitigation steps specific to credential theft threats: (1) Block the domain and any subdomains at the DNS or proxy level to prevent access. (2) Monitor for signs of account compromise, particularly for services related to booking or travel platforms, and enforce password resets for any credentials potentially exposed. (3) Deploy multi-factor authentication (MFA) solutions that resist phishing, such as FIDO2 or hardware-based tokens, to reduce the impact of stolen credentials. (4) Educate users on recognizing impersonation tactics, including urgency-based messaging and requests for sensitive information under the guise of verification processes.

## 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.
