# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dantelabs.us ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 18:50:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dantelabs.us/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 75.2.60.5 (US, Seattle) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: NAMECHEAP INC Nameservers: dns1.registrar-servers.com, dns2.registrar-servers.com Registered: 2025-03-22 Expires: 2028-03-22 Page title: Dante Labs - Decentralized Innovation HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 94c83c35d1a7b555c60148f0a6956a735cf2d07a2c0ba45c5e4cb9c899d99214 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - dantelabs.io - www.dantelabs.io - www.dantelabs.us ## 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: 2025-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 20:42:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-03 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 06:17:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2422-6f5b-7532-8182-8a8baf619b3a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dantelabs.us crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dantelabs.us Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dantelabs.us AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dantelabs.us URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dantelabs.us/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 20:44:36 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 a phishing site impersonating Dante Labs, a legitimate genetic testing and sequencing provider. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest user credentials, payment details, or personal health information under the guise of offering genetic testing services. The fraudulent nature is suggested by the domain's recent creation and lack of association with the official Dante Labs infrastructure, which operates under different domains and IP ranges. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain dantelabs.us was registered on March 22, 2025, through NAMECHEAP INC, with no prior history or legitimate use. It resolves to IP address 75.2.60.5 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is common among both legitimate and malicious sites. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain yet. The domain remains active and unblocklisted, increasing the risk of exposure to unsuspecting users searching for genetic testing services. Users who have visited dantelabs.us should immediately cease all interaction and avoid entering any personal or financial information. If credentials or payment details were submitted, affected individuals should change passwords for all critical accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. Security teams are advised to block the domain and IP address 75.2.60.5 at the network level and conduct internal investigations for any signs of compromise. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of detection, heightened vigilance is recommended for similar impersonation attempts targeting health and biotech sectors. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ad1a6f4c5183484aea75bd061d11fc25 TLS cert SHA-256: 94c83c35d1a7b555c60148f0a6956a735cf2d07a2c0ba45c5e4cb9c899d99214 ## 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/dantelabs.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dantelabs.us 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.
