# PhishDestroy threat dossier — darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 10:48:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, G-Data, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 191.96.144.111 (US, Asheville) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ["emily.ns.cloudflare.com", "terin.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: $RICH Distribution ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Sectigo Limited / Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 Expires: 2026-09-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3c1dee4d26602444df491f01fa88426aba41f48da122444394e2e6d5c65fea75 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - hostingersite.com ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:41:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 22:01:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198bd48-383e-7468-a88c-f5e397212d9a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:19:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com as a medium-risk generic phishing domain. This site has been detected engaging in deceptive practices aimed at harvesting sensitive user information. The domain's page title matches its URL, suggesting no effort to mask its identity, but the presence on multiple security blocklists indicates confirmed malicious intent. Technically, the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to the IP address 191.96.144.111. It is currently flagged on four separate security blocklists and is detected by four out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. This infrastructure details align with typical phishing setups that leverage shared hosting platforms to quickly deploy malicious content. As of now, darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends that organizations maintain vigilance by updating their blocklists to include this domain and educating users about the risks associated with suspicious Hostinger subdomains. Continuous monitoring of related domains registered under the same provider is advised to prevent future attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 3c1dee4d26602444df491f01fa88426aba41f48da122444394e2e6d5c65fea75 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darksalmon-aardvark-812625.hostingersite.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
