AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      45.61.157.248 (US, Las Vegas)
ASN:             ASAS14956 ROUTERHOSTING - RouterHosting LLC, US
Hosting org:     AS14956 RouterHosting LLC
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Nameservers:     ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com
Registered:      2026-02-21
Expires:         2026-11-17
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: 2026-02-21 (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)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-27 16:24:03 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 04:33:05 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 00:08:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies hedgeweeks.online as a high-risk phishing domain that posed significant dangers to internet users. Such sites are designed to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information like login credentials, financial data, or personal details. Despite being recently created in February 2026, this domain quickly appeared on multiple security blocklists and was flagged by several threat intelligence sources, underscoring its malicious intent.

This phishing campaign leveraged the hedgeweeks.online domain to impersonate legitimate services or lure users via fraudulent emails or links. Once visitors accessed the site, they were likely prompted to enter confidential information, which attackers could then exploit for financial fraud or identity theft. The domain resolved to IP 45.61.157.248 and was registered anonymously through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a tactic often used by threat actors to mask their identities.

Although hedgeweeks.online is currently taken offline, anyone who visited the site should remain vigilant. It is recommended to change any passwords possibly entered on the site immediately and monitor financial accounts for suspicious activity. Users should also ensure their devices are scanned with updated security software and remain cautious about unsolicited emails or unknown web links to prevent further exposure to phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

## 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.
