PhishDestroy identifies growthlab-x.com as having an elevated risk level due to its involvement in a generic phishing threat, which can lead to compromised personal data. 
   
This domain was flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and is registered through Squarespace Domains II LLC, resolving to the IP address 198.185.159.144, it was created on May 18, 2026, and appears on 3 security blocklists, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically R13, and was found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX.

To mitigate the threat posed by growthlab-x.com, users should avoid interacting with the site, especially when prompted to enter sensitive information, and consider implementing additional security measures such as two-factor authentication and regular software updates, given the site's recent creation and low trust scores, as indicated by its presence on multiple blocklists, a cautious approach is essential to prevent potential phishing attacks

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       aa78d04664d6b65058ff847eb8d2d821
TLS cert SHA-256:      0d2ea5057680d2fe8a6badfbcdf946970ae58ac8ad5436623b1993f31763b0a6

## 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.
