## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:21:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies indexweb.ghost.io as a phishing domain flagged primarily for generic phishing activity. Although currently offline, this domain poses a medium risk because it was designed to deceive visitors by impersonating legitimate services or sites. Phishing sites like this typically aim to steal sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data, or financial details from unsuspecting users.

This phishing attempt operated by misleading users into visiting the site, likely under false pretenses, to obtain confidential information. The domain, registered through 1API GmbH, was flagged by multiple security tools, including VirusTotal where 4 out of 95 vendors detected suspicious behavior. The site is now offline and blacklisted, preventing direct access, but residual risks remain for anyone who interacted with it before takedown.

If you visited indexweb.ghost.io, it is crucial to monitor your accounts for unusual activity and change passwords immediately, especially if you submitted any credentials or personal information. Running a comprehensive antivirus scan and enabling multi-factor authentication on critical accounts can improve your online safety. Always double-check URLs and avoid clicking links from untrusted sources to protect yourself from similar threats in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fcda4d00188b36ba5d940304a0eb7736
TLS cert SHA-256:      015fe124633494e0f12ca559184431eeb45d2255ce555210b9828d080fa2d649

## 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.
