## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      107.173.193.235 (US, Buffalo)
ASN:             ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US
Hosting org:     AS36352 HostPapa
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## 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: 2026-03-19 02:18:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies grandth.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that impersonated a financial entity named "Grand Trust Holdings." This type of threat is significant because it aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data, potentially leading to identity theft or financial loss.

The domain grandth.com was registered recently on September 25, 2023, through NameSilo, LLC. It resolved to the IP address 107.173.193.235 and appeared on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis flagged this domain by 8 out of 95 security vendors, while Gridinsoft assigned it a low trust score of 28 out of 100. The domain has since been taken offline, indicating possible mitigation or takedown efforts.

Users are advised to remain cautious and avoid clicking links or opening attachments related to grandth.com. If any interaction has occurred, it is important to monitor accounts for suspicious activity and update passwords immediately. Employing updated security software and verifying URLs before submitting any personal information can help prevent exposure to similar phishing schemes in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       9d8fce4283178219689f6f382a5fad51defe9444352c7c7a41bf1a605be6d903

## 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.
