Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain erudite.consulting is a live site with a high threat score of 85/100, identified as a generic phishing operation. It has been flagged as malicious by 5 out of 95 security vendors, including notable names like Fortinet and ADMINUSLabs, and is listed on one public blocklist. However, Google Safe Browsing has not flagged this domain. Registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, the domain was created on July 1, 2018, and has been actively serving traffic. The hosting IP is 192.185.93.79. Given the high threat score and active status, block this domain at the perimeter and report it to the registrar's abuse desk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-2B562F Favicon MD5: ec87cee1e6c18b344b7d5059f659a44e TLS cert SHA-256: a952459b5c5211b8c4b1b51894480d4fde92b217486f58a2f081e5199bcfaf78 ## 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/erudite.consulting/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=erudite.consulting 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.
