## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      191.96.144.93 (US, Asheville)
ASN:             ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY
Hosting org:     AS47583 Hostinger International Limited
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.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-03-18 23:56:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies itauunibanco.global as a high-risk generic phishing domain designed to impersonate a legitimate financial institution. The site attempted to deceive users by displaying a suspicious 'Checking your browser before accessing. Just a moment...' message, a common tactic to evade detection and harvest credentials.

The domain was registered via NameSilo, LLC on December 06, 2025, and resolved to the IP address 191.96.144.93. It has appeared in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses and is listed on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flagged the domain through 20 out of 95 scanning engines, further corroborating its malicious nature. This infrastructure profile aligns with typical phishing campaigns targeting bank customers.

Currently, itauunibanco.global is offline, limiting immediate risk; however, its recent creation and detection across multiple threat intelligence sources emphasize the need for ongoing vigilance. Organizations should block this domain proactively and educate users about phishing threats mimicking trusted banking brands. Continuous monitoring for similar domains is recommended to prevent credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       fede7a249c4505a45d17c9bf3bc5f45d351314ee15ab49b5af3091e5ac1a3b3b

## 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.
