Fetched:   2026-06-28 09:23:14 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/castondo.com/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com
Nameservers:     ["amanda.ns.cloudflare.com", "gabriel.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-07
Page title:      Just a moment...
HTTP response:   200

## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-08 01:37:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-07 22:50:18 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:57:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, castondo.com, is an active credential harvesting phishing site designed to steal user login credentials through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate authentication pages, likely targeting financial, cryptocurrency, or email accounts. The infrastructure employs evasion techniques, including Cloudflare proxying and HTTP/3, to obscure its malicious activity and resist takedown efforts.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 07, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with phishing operations. Security vendors have flagged the domain in 3 out of 95 VirusTotal engines, while it appears on 4 independent security blocklists, including cryptocurrency-specific threat feeds. AlienVault OTX records the domain in 4 distinct threat intelligence pulses, further corroborating its malicious classification. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, and the presence of HSTS headers suggest an attempt to appear legitimate while masking the true origin of the attack.  Users who have visited castondo.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke access to any potentially compromised accounts, particularly those linked to financial services or cryptocurrency wallets. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts and monitor for unauthorized transactions or login attempts. If credentials were submitted, assume they are compromised and rotate passwords across all platforms where the same or similar credentials were used. Network administrators should block the domain at the DNS or proxy level to prevent further exposure within their environments.

## 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 (volunteer 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.
