# PhishDestroy threat dossier — darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 05:19:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: -1 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 52.29.26.157 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AWS EC2 (eu-central-1) Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: ["launch1.spaceship.net", "launch2.spaceship.net"] Registered: 2026-07-08 Page title: The Darling At The Star Gold Coast Hotel - Gold Coast, Australia HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 727d6a8ceaad8a64c8f5fec1a7ccc97c46570e980ffbe51a4893284ec68f6c5e Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - spahotel.guru ## 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: 2026-07-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-07 14:22:10 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 04:09:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3c85-e931-73ff-ba1c-f9aa4ce280bd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 14:26:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru, is identified as a high-risk credential-harvesting phishing site targeting users of The Darling At The Star Gold Coast Hotel. The infrastructure mimics legitimate hotel booking platforms to deceive visitors into submitting personal and payment details, which are then captured by threat actors for financial fraud or identity theft operations. Analysis indicates the site employs social engineering tactics, including a cloned page title and professional design, to establish false legitimacy and lower user suspicion. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 52.29.26.157 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to create an illusion of security. As of the latest scan, 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, with detection labels including phishing, fraudulent site, and credential theft. The domain was registered through an anonymized registrar, obscuring ownership details and complicating attribution. No public creation date is available, but the active blocklist presence and recent detection spikes suggest recent deployment in ongoing phishing campaigns. Users who have visited darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any submitted information. Change passwords for all accounts where the same credentials may have been reused, particularly for banking, email, and hotel loyalty programs. Monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions and enable multi-factor authentication on critical accounts. If payment details were entered, contact financial institutions to issue chargebacks or freeze compromised cards. Report the domain to local cybersecurity authorities and consider submitting the URL to additional threat intelligence platforms to support broader detection efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f64ad864d87e446dc9f89caf5522936c TLS cert SHA-256: 727d6a8ceaad8a64c8f5fec1a7ccc97c46570e980ffbe51a4893284ec68f6c5e ## 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/darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darlgatthestargoldcoast.spahotel.guru 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.
