  - ghost.io

## 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: 2026-06-23 19:26:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pagestart-en.ghost.io presents a page title of "Site unavailable" and is currently offline. Based on the page title alone, no specific brand impersonation or scam type can be identified; the site appears to be non-functional or intentionally taken down.

Technical analysis reveals the domain was created on 2026-02-21, registered via 1API GmbH, and hosted on IP address 151.101.3.7 (United States) assigned to AS54113 Fastly, Inc. SSL certification is issued by Let's Encrypt / R12. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 vendors flagged the site, including alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, and Webroot. The domain uses nameservers woz.ns.cloudflare.com and sara.ns.cloudflare.com. GridinSoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, and the domain risk score is 56.

The site is currently down and inaccessible. The risk level is moderate, supported by the elevated domain risk score of 56, low trust rating, and detection by four security vendors. The recent creation date and use of a content delivery network IP suggest a potentially transient or suspicious setup, but no active threat is present due to the site being offline.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
