Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy classifies hostlooni.com as a low-risk domain involved in brand impersonation targeting WordPress. Although the threat level is minimal, the domain's intent to deceive users by leveraging a well-known brand warrants awareness. Evidence supporting this assessment includes the domain's creation date of September 9, 2022, and its registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolved to IP address 162.241.117.48 and appeared on two security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged it by only one out of 95 security vendors, while Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100. The site's page title, “Hostloni - Web hosting company in Nigeria,” suggests an attempt to appear as a legitimate hosting service, potentially confusing users familiar with WordPress. Currently, hostlooni.com is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance against similar brand impersonation tactics and advises users and organizations to maintain updated blocklists and phishing filters. Avoid engaging with suspicious domains, especially those mimicking trusted brands, to mitigate potential exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 92b0f160f62e2acf0bb6f982a5e3227a TLS cert SHA-256: ba13d080b191112f459f5c390116000681074470c34284703c2b7ca33dd9b37d ## 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/hostlooni.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hostlooni.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
