# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gtasaapk.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 15:35:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gtasaapk.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: playstation (and: xbox) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 31.170.164.173 (GB, Manchester) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns2.dns-parking.com, ns1.dns-parking.com Registered: 2024-12-31 Expires: 2025-12-31 Page title: GTA SA APK Download - Your Ultimate San Andreas Experience HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2024-12-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-25 16:10:11 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 18:04:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a1c22-6346-724d-9afd-7abf12fc27f2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gtasaapk.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gtasaapk.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gtasaapk.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gtasaapk.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gtasaapk.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:51:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies gtasaapk.online as a low-risk generic phishing domain primarily targeting users seeking GTA San Andreas APK downloads. The domain’s threat level is considered low, but it remains a potential source for phishing or malware distribution. Users searching for GTA game files should exercise caution and verify sources carefully. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s creation date on December 31, 2024, registration via HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and its resolution to IP address 31.170.164.173. VirusTotal reports only a single detection among 95 security vendors, and the domain appears on one security blocklist, indicating minimal but non-negligible risk. The page title, “GTA SA APK Download - Your Ultimate San Andreas Experience,” suggests an attempt to lure visitors with game-related content. Currently, gtasaapk.online is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised not to visit or download any files from this domain due to potential phishing threats or exposure to unsafe content. Always verify trusted sources for APK downloads and avoid sharing sensitive information on suspicious sites. PhishDestroy continues to monitor the domain for status changes or reactivation. ## 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/gtasaapk.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gtasaapk.online 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.
