Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, grant-zoobit.org, poses as a legitimate government portal to deceive visitors into submitting sensitive information. Analysis indicates it uses the page title 'Government of Alberta | Alberta.ca,' a direct impersonation of the official Alberta government website. Such tactics are commonly employed in credential harvesting campaigns targeting citizens seeking grants, benefits, or official services. The site’s infrastructure is designed to appear authentic, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting its malicious classification. The domain was registered on May 20, 2026, through Key-Systems GmbH, a registrar frequently associated with newly created phishing domains. Only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal currently flags this domain, suggesting it may still be in an early deployment phase or employing evasion techniques. The site resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and utilizes Cloudflare services, including HTTP/3 and Browser Insights, which are often leveraged to obscure malicious activity and improve performance. Additionally, the domain appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its association with phishing infrastructure. If you or someone you know has visited grant-zoobit.org or entered any information on the site, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, cease all interaction with the domain and avoid clicking any links or downloading files from it. If credentials were submitted, change passwords for all affected accounts, prioritizing those linked to financial services, government portals, or email accounts. Enable multi-factor authentication where available to add an additional layer of security. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions, and report any suspicious incidents to relevant authorities or fraud response teams. Users should also consider running a full scan of their devices using updated security tools to detect any potential malware or backdoors that may have been installed during the interaction. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: fe5a9efb3f90cfe928f620cd6277f7b1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4c8eec2d638392892709c1fd8bcd6cbca44a92b0e6673c529d0da8cffda0b104 ## 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/grant-zoobit.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=grant-zoobit.org 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.
