Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] distribution-focus.com used for generic phishing campaign Analysis conducted on July 25, 2026 identifies the domain distribution-focus.com as part of an ongoing generic phishing campaign. The domain was registered on June 23, 2025 through Squarespace Domains LLC and is currently resolved to the IPv4 address 198.49.23.144. DNS resolution is handled by the Google Cloud‑based nameservers ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-e2.googledomains.com, and ns-cloud-e3.googledomains.com. The domain has been listed on a security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one reputable anti‑phishing provider has flagged the host. VirusTotal reports that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of the vendors returned a detection, which does not constitute evidence of safety but reflects the current lack of signatures. No additional public intelligence sources such as OTX, Safe Browsing, or SSL/TLS observations are available in the supplied data. The observed evidence is limited to registration details, hosting IP, nameserver configuration, blocklist presence, and the VirusTotal scan outcome. Uncertainty remains regarding the specific landing page content, any SSL certificates, and the exact phishing payload delivered to victims. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor traffic to the associated IP address, and add the host to internal blocklists. Ongoing reconnaissance of the IP’s hosting environment and periodic re‑scans with VirusTotal or similar services are recommended to detect any future changes in malicious indicators. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260725-1F4FDB Favicon MD5: eeb75f3633ab366833a32c5e186660ee TLS cert SHA-256: e84a5bc4e6162b94af2391b6db41788502c1f2fdef93a027045505dcc4906ab1 ## 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/distribution-focus.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=distribution-focus.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
