# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hosus.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 09:49:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hosus.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2025-11-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 14:20:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 14:20:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 00:18:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebbc5-57b0-74db-a05c-75dbdaf6c439/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hosus.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hosus.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hosus.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hosus.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hosus.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:12:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, hosus.info, is identified as a generic phishing site specializing in fake parcel tracking pages. The page title "Track & Trace" suggests an attempt to impersonate logistics or postal services, a common tactic to deceive users into entering sensitive information such as login credentials or personal details. No specific brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit signatures were confirmed in available telemetry, though the generic phishing framework aligns with known credential harvesting campaigns targeting e-commerce and delivery service users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on November 13, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Detection metrics indicate elevated risk, with 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on two independent security blocklists and has been included in two threat intelligence pulses on a major open-source threat exchange platform. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, is frequently exploited in phishing campaigns to lend a false sense of security. As of the latest assessment, hosus.info has been taken offline, likely in response to detection and blocking by multiple security providers. However, residual risk remains due to the domain's recent registration and the potential for infrastructure reuse. Users who may have interacted with the site are advised to monitor for unauthorized account access and reset credentials for any services that may have been exposed. Organizations should update blocklists to include the domain and associated IP to prevent future access attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d0ee9d42fcb15a003345a7a74c60879703ceb853a83c47b0db8dd4bd0217b8a6 ## 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/hosus.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hosus.info 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.
