No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 10:23:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 00:30:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 10:24:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] gtnews.xyz Generic Phishing Alert The domain gtnews.xyz is currently registered through Dynadot Inc and resolves to active web content returning HTTP 200 responses. DNS resolution is provided by the nameservers ns15.abovedomains.com and ns16.abovedomains.com, indicating that the infrastructure is hosted on a shared reseller platform commonly leveraged for short‑lived malicious sites. VirusTotal analysis shows that six of ninety‑one scanning engines have flagged the domain, suggesting that at least a minority of security products recognize malicious behavior associated with this host. The domain is listed on a single public blocklist, PhishDestroy, which confirms that at least one community‑maintained feed has identified it as a phishing source. No additional intelligence such as page title, brand targeting, or specific kit fingerprint is available, leaving the exact content and impersonation tactics unverified. Defenders should treat the domain as high‑risk given its active status, confirmed detection by multiple vendors, and presence on a blocklist. Recommended actions include adding gtnews.xyz to outbound web filtering rules, ensuring that any inbound email containing URLs to this domain is quarantined, and monitoring DNS traffic for queries to the associated nameservers. Continuous re‑scanning on VirusTotal and periodic checks against threat intel feeds are advised to capture any changes in detection posture or new blocklist listings. Organizations should also consider sharing observed indicators with industry sharing platforms to improve collective awareness of this active phishing infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f3e8849cfcebb3fd7228a8176f71ce884e79ce907986971860e48e615d62c0df ## 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/gtnews.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gtnews.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
