Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kimptonverobeachbyihg.spahotel.guru as a brand impersonation scam designed to mimic the legitimate Kimpton Beach Hotel by IHG. The site leverages a spoofed domain that closely copies the real hotel’s branding, likely aiming to trick visitors into entering sensitive information such as login credentials, payment details, or personal data. Brand impersonation scams like this are common tactics used by cybercriminals to exploit trust in well-known companies, redirecting users to malicious pages controlled by attackers. This domain was flagged by 20 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, and it is currently blocked by OpenPhish and PhishingArmy, two reputable threat intelligence platforms. The domain resolves to IP address 52.29.26.157 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may give it a false appearance of legitimacy. Additionally, the domain uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which does not guarantee safety and is often misused by malicious actors to appear trustworthy. The registration details, including the creation date and registrar, are not specified in the available data, but the site is actively being used in deception campaigns. If you visited kimptonverobeachbyihg.spahotel.guru, immediately stop entering any information. Do not log in, make payments, or submit personal details. Close the browser tab and clear your browsing data, including cookies and cached files, to prevent persistent access by the site. Scan your device with updated antivirus software to detect any potential malware. If you entered credentials, change your passwords immediately, especially for banking or email accounts, and monitor for suspicious activity. Report the domain to your antivirus provider or to organizations like OpenPhish or PhishingArmy to help block it for others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f64ad864d87e446dc9f89caf5522936c TLS cert SHA-256: 1da303c34dd7031e5b1fcc8f9aa0727e0cc7b775c55d84984abadc7e6d003c1c ## 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/kimptonverobeachbyihg.spahotel.guru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kimptonverobeachbyihg.spahotel.guru 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.
