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: 2026-02-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 16:55:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 18:20:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4238-ad07-7227-9eaa-aacd0996646b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gthinvestmentcompany.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gthinvestmentcompany.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gthinvestmentcompany.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gthinvestmentcompany.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gthinvestmentcompany.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 17:05:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gthinvestmentcompany.com, is flagged as an active crypto investment scam targeting users through fraudulent financial services. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate investment platforms, presenting itself under the brand 'Gth Investment Company' with a homepage title 'Gth Investment Company | Home.' No specific drainer kit signatures have been identified, but the generic phishing classification suggests credential harvesting or fraudulent fund transfers as primary objectives. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 17, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to multiple phishing campaigns in recent months. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy. Detection metrics show 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) currently lists the domain as active, with no blocklist entries from major browser or network security providers at this time. As of the latest assessment, gthinvestmentcompany.com remains active and operational, continuing to pose a high risk to unsuspecting users. No takedown actions have been observed, and the domain’s infrastructure remains intact. Users are advised to block the domain at the network level and report it to relevant abuse contacts. Financial institutions and cryptocurrency platforms should monitor for transactions linked to this domain and implement additional verification steps for users attempting to engage with it. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain’s persistence and lack of mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5865795ad224a08eba44da4a7199bc55 TLS cert SHA-256: d8ac674ff4bb35dac52d772a5ede2e08dd8bac0676532457f4a599753465b635 ## 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/gthinvestmentcompany.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gthinvestmentcompany.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.
