Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Google Safebrowsing
URLQuery:        3 detections
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      216.150.1.1 (US, Walnut)
Hosting org:     AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 17:59:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, gatehubs.com, is identified as an active phishing site specializing in cryptocurrency wallet fraud. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive credentials, including private keys and recovery phrases, under the guise of a legitimate wallet service. The domain remains operational and poses a high risk to individuals engaging in digital asset transactions.  Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting this assessment. The domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to the IP address 216.150.1.1, hosted on AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.) in the United States. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, with 2 of 95 detecting malicious activity. The site lacks an SSL certificate, further increasing its vulnerability to interception and exploitation. Additionally, gatehubs.com appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and SEAL, and is actively blocked by browser-based security tools.  Current status confirms the domain remains active and continues to pose a significant threat. Users are strongly advised to avoid interaction with gatehubs.com and any associated subdomains or links. Organizations should update firewall rules and endpoint protection systems to block the domain and its resolving IP address. Individuals who may have interacted with the site should immediately revoke access to any exposed credentials, monitor associated accounts for unauthorized activity, and consider reporting the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities for further investigation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-B68635
Favicon MD5:       70f0a17409cee9262b3e9cd289fdea80

## 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.
