# PhishDestroy threat dossier — growthhubbusiness.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 06:01:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/growthhubbusiness.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.55.245.164 (DE, Falkenstein) ASN: AS24940 Hetzner Online GmbH Hosting org: Hetzner 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["dns2.harmonweb.net", "dns1.harmonweb.net"] Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: GROWTHHUBBUSINESS HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-23 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 69934fca800bdee3f2f77eaf2ea308f341ddc789d76627b6120236cc32683927 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - mail.growthhubbusiness.xyz - www.growthhubbusiness.xyz ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 20:11:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 17:12:26 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-07 04:26:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 19:54:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dcfeb-9804-763f-8cf6-ba2d900cfabe/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a3df4611-e6be-421b-b604-a2f2dd7dc701 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/growthhubbusiness.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.growthhubbusiness.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=growthhubbusiness.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/growthhubbusiness.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/growthhubbusiness.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 20:12:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies growthhubbusiness.xyz as a live generic phishing site currently under investigation. The domain, created on April 24, 2026 and resolving to IP 162.55.245.164, is designed to harvest business-loan applications and sensitive applicant data. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors at the time of analysis, remains unlisted on major blocklists, and was registered through NameSilo, LLC. It holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and exhibits no overt malware artefacts. Its very recent creation date and low detection rate indicate a fast-evolving threat that has yet to be widely recognized. As the domain remains ACTIVE and currently poses a HIGH risk to users seeking business financing, PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking at the network perimeter via IP 162.55.245.164 and domain growthhubbusiness.xyz. Organisations should alert employees to disregard any solicitations referencing this site and submit fresh samples to threat-intel teams for rapid signature deployment. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-A16DA2 Favicon MD5: c121e5b6a330496bcc69d5f6b9752fa4 TLS cert SHA-256: 69934fca800bdee3f2f77eaf2ea308f341ddc789d76627b6120236cc32683927 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/growthhubbusiness.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=growthhubbusiness.xyz 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
