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: 2011-07-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-01-05 14:12:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-29 12:21:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:25:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b8e80-5999-71bc-8a84-914fa4ab0c1a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gmzdaily.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gmzdaily.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gmzdaily.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gmzdaily.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gmzdaily.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:35:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] gmzdaily.com — Gmail Impersonation Phishing Report gmzdaily.com is a brand impersonation domain specifically targeting Gmail users with a fake login page titled "Google." The domain has been taken offline, but its history and technical indicators suggest it was used for phishing campaigns aimed at stealing Google account credentials. The site was registered through Wild West Domains, LLC and was created on July 28, 2011, giving it a deceptive appearance of legitimacy through age. Security analysis reveals that the domain is flagged by 18 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating widespread detection as malicious. It appears on two security blocklists and has been identified in five AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. The domain resolves to IP address 172.253.122.105, which is associated with Google services, furthering the impersonation. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt R13, a common certificate authority used by both legitimate and malicious sites. Although gmzdaily.com is currently offline, users should remain vigilant. Anyone who may have entered credentials on this site should change their Gmail password immediately and enable two-factor authentication. PhishDestroy recommends checking the domain against its verified brand list and reporting any suspicious links encountered. Always verify the URL before entering sensitive information, and avoid logging in through unsolicited email links. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b0319c13efb75ea6a674f8c90dc33cd0 TLS cert SHA-256: 4a84089df4650c8c40dc303222e2752bcf7ee77516ae1b19fa45bb73613ef9ce ## 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/gmzdaily.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gmzdaily.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.
