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: 2025-10-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-15 15:19:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-15 15:18:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-14 12:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:37:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d9112-11b1-739f-bd7c-3041cd5d0ddf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a9069f2f-0187-4d15-9864-94855d77b0c1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mandalacraft.ro crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mandalacraft.ro Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mandalacraft.ro AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mandalacraft.ro URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mandalacraft.ro/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:32:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of the domain mandalacraft.ro indicates active credential phishing infrastructure targeting users through a purported online storefront. The domain, registered on October 2, 2025, via ICI - Registrar, resolves to the IP address 89.42.218.9, hosted by Romarg SRL in Romania. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of nameservers ns1.romarg.com through ns4.romarg.com, and MX records pointing to mx01.whmpanels.com and mx02.whmpanels.com, suggesting email handling capabilities often exploited in phishing operations. The site presents itself as "MandalaCraft Magazin decoratiuni si accesorii traditionale handmade Bali, China, India," though no legitimate affiliation with such a business has been verified. Detected technologies include PrestaShop, MySQL, PHP, Bootstrap, LiteSpeed, and jQuery, which are consistent with e-commerce platforms but are also commonly abused for phishing. The domain currently returns an HTTP 302 redirect, which may indicate attempts to obscure its true content or funnel victims to secondary malicious pages. Security vendors have flagged mandalacraft.ro as malicious, with 17 out of 91 engines on VirusTotal detecting it at the time of this report. The domain appears on one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse and is blocked by at least one security blocklist. Gridinsoft and Scamadviser both assign a trust score of 1 out of 100, reinforcing its high-risk classification. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), provides encryption but is not indicative of legitimacy, as phishing sites frequently use valid certificates to appear trustworthy. Defenders should treat this domain as active phishing infrastructure. Network-level blocking of 89.42.218.9 and associated MX records is recommended. Organizations should monitor for credential submission attempts linked to this domain and investigate any user interactions with it. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c19e988d4635d800bfa9c53b953555e TLS cert SHA-256: 5f56f3f21d418c815014fde98f8b9dded920e03179836a834069b7a5eb5eb418 ## 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/mandalacraft.ro/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mandalacraft.ro 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.
