castigan.us Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain castigan.us is a live site with a critical threat score of 95/100, operating as a generic phishing scam. It has been flagged as malicious by 15 out of 95 security vendors, including notable names like Kaspersky and BitDefender, and is listed on one public blocklist.

Registered with Sav.com LLC, this domain was created on April 7, 2026, and was first seen on June 24, 2026. The hosting IP address is 66.85.46.240, which could be flagged as an indicator of compromise due to the site's malicious activity.

Immediate action is required: block the domain at the perimeter and report it to the registrar abuse desk for further investigation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-4100B8
Favicon MD5:       f79e26370348fcd44832685866fed0e9
TLS cert SHA-256:      4cce23026111ca518e1202efb226026fb962174722a2a0467a4a362ed1bf08dc

## 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.
