No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 10:13:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 08:20:26 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 10:14:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] greycitygroup.com — Generic Phishing Investigation Report greycitygroup.com is currently active and returns HTTP status code 200 when queried. The domain is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB and resolves to the nameservers dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, with a fourth nameserver entry truncated in the source data. It appears on one public security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal analysis shows that four of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a modest but non‑trivial detection rate. The threat classification supplied is generic phishing, and the risk level has been assigned as high. No additional intelligence such as page title, targeted brand, or underlying phishing kit has been released, so the specific lure and victim profile remain unknown. Infrastructure observations suggest the domain is hosted on a shared hosting environment typical for low‑cost registrars, which may facilitate rapid re‑deployment of similar campaigns. Defenders should add greycitygroup.com to outbound filtering and DNS sinkhole lists, monitor for any resolution changes, and enforce strict URL reputation controls. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑engine services is advised to capture any evolution in detection signatures. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited communications that reference the domain, given its high‑risk phishing designation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 30466015e3aa6cc3bf37a9608c62b8466bd4ccf7ce1e30638c7290abf77a535d ## 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/greycitygroup.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=greycitygroup.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.
