Technical Details - Registrar: Cybersmart Ltd - Hosting IP: 196.41.123.211 - VirusTotal: 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious (domain scan, not IP) - Domain Created: 2005-01-18 Recommendations - Block and report this domain immediately via your threat-intel platform - Warn users about generic phishing and scam attempts - Implement email and web filtering rules to prevent access to this domain ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e02e9569feb297a9d3e0dedafd9001c7 TLS cert SHA-256: 35974f0cf8f94b6c2e3a4e7c0c7b0156c1132e508db0e20031a558fa54268e0e ## 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/emspro.co.za/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=emspro.co.za 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.
