## 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.

Last verified:     2026-06-23 06:17:42 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:48:36 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:07:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain deerpark.spahotel.guru poses as a legitimate hotel booking site for The Deer Park Hotel in Giritale, Sri Lanka. It has been flagged by 19 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, highlighting its malicious intent. The domain is currently active and has been added to one public blocklist, including PhishDestroy's own list.

Operating under the registrar Spaceship, Inc., and hosted on IP address 52.29.26.157, this site uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The platform risk score is notably high at 88 out of 100, indicating a significant threat level. PhishDestroy first detected this domain on June 7, 2026, marking it as a fresh and active phishing operation.

The site attempts to exploit users seeking accommodation by mimicking the branding and appearance of a genuine hotel website. This tactic aims to deceive visitors into providing sensitive information, such as credit card details, under the guise of booking a stay. The presence of 19 VirusTotal detections underscores the domain's malicious nature, despite its legitimate-seeming presentation.

PhishDestroy's early detection of this domain allows for proactive measures to mitigate potential harm. By identifying threats like deerpark.spahotel.guru in the early stages, PhishDestroy helps protect users from falling victim to sophisticated phishing schemes that exploit the initial gap in antivirus database updates.

## 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 (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.
