No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 14:43:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 16:20:27 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 14:44:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] howellbaptist.org Phishing Indicator — Active Threat The domain howellbaptist.org is currently flagged as a generic phishing infrastructure under investigation. Registry data shows the domain was registered through Tucows Domains Inc., and its authoritative name servers are ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com, and ns3.wordpress.com, indicating it is hosted on the WordPress.com platform. An HTTP request to the domain returns a 301 redirect, a common technique used to forward victims to a malicious landing page while preserving the original URL in browser histories. The site has been added to one public security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that at least one external mitigation platform has identified malicious activity associated with the domain. VirusTotal records indicate that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors; none of those scanners raised a detection at the time of analysis. The lack of detections does not constitute evidence of benign behavior, as threat actors frequently employ evasion techniques that can bypass existing signatures. No additional intelligence such as an OTX pulse, Safe Browsing rating, or SSL certificate details is available in the current data set, and the page title or content has not been captured, leaving the exact phishing lure unknown. Given the observed infrastructure—WordPress hosting, a permanent 301 redirect, inclusion on a blocklist, and active blocking by PhishDestroy—defenders should treat howellbaptist.org as a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Recommended actions include adding the domain to network and endpoint blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated name servers, and employing URL filtering solutions that reference the blocklist entry. Continuous observation is advised to detect any changes in hosting, content, or detection status that could alter the risk profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f1b192a0d533d4a7d891a5f28b00c90e TLS cert SHA-256: 78c5b3860175548019814a826948c7da11fb47c68a12ed0b661df21b91a19d0e ## 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/howellbaptist.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=howellbaptist.org 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.
