Nameservers: ["launch1.spaceship.net", "launch2.spaceship.net"] HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: ZeroSSL GmbH / ZeroSSL ECC DV SSL CA 2 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 67a97cd1381f6984c2c459990d9fa0599869b51cd80116585cb43067ba5f6a76 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 13:13:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 13:14:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] hostel.town Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis of the domain hostel.town, observed on July 26, 2026, indicates active malicious infrastructure supporting a generic phishing campaign. The domain is registered through Spaceship, Inc. and resolves to the authoritative nameservers launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net, suggesting the use of the registrar's default DNS configuration. HTTP probing returns a 200 OK response, confirming that the web service is reachable and presently serving content. VirusTotal scans have identified the domain as malicious in 16 of 91 security vendor engines, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing activity. Additionally, the domain appears on a single external security blocklist and has been explicitly flagged by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, demonstrating that at least one independent threat intelligence source has taken preventive action. The combination of a reachable HTTP endpoint, multiple vendor detections, and blocklist inclusion establishes a high confidence level that the domain is being leveraged for phishing. No further technical details such as IP address, ASN, geographic hosting, SSL certificate data, or page title are presently available, leaving the exact payload and target brand undefined. Defenders should incorporate hostel.town into URL filtering policies, ensure it is blocked at network perimeters, and monitor for any related indicator updates. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional intelligence—such as detailed page analysis or expanded blocklist listings—may emerge to refine the threat profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8b82b402972f10d24edb90e234d4e23e TLS cert SHA-256: 67a97cd1381f6984c2c459990d9fa0599869b51cd80116585cb43067ba5f6a76 ## 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/hostel.town/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hostel.town 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.
