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: 2026-03-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-11 22:30:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 07:21:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-24 00:15:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ce2dd-73ee-75df-b355-757f8a5d317a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gapiupdate.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gapiupdate.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gapiupdate.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gapiupdate.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gapiupdate.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:18:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gapiupdate.click as an active phishing domain posing a medium risk to users. This site is designed to deceive visitors into sharing sensitive login information, potentially leading to unauthorized access to personal accounts and financial loss. The phishing tactic employed by gapiupdate.click involves impersonating legitimate update services, but instead of delivering updates, it attempts to capture credentials. The domain resolves to IP 91.92.241.15 and was created recently in March 2026. It has been flagged by multiple security blocklists and detected by several security vendors on VirusTotal, highlighting its malicious intent. If you have visited gapiupdate.click, it is crucial to immediately change any passwords you might have entered and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Avoid interacting with the site further, and consider running a full antivirus scan on your device. Stay vigilant and use trusted sources for software updates to protect your digital security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d0e3a85a05d6003b2e6a308bc4d45ed9472094008fe3b26c8d04770564f8dff9 ## 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/gapiupdate.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gapiupdate.click 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.
