## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, VIPRE, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.96.111 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloudflare, Inc.
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.

pharos.sbs Phishing Campaign — Safety Check

The domain pharos.sbs is currently active and has been classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. Registration records show the domain was purchased through NameSilo, LLC, and the authoritative nameservers are simone.ns.cloudflare.com and anirban.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service. VirusTotal scans have returned 11 positive detections out of 91 security vendors, confirming that multiple scanning engines have identified malicious activity associated with the host.

The domain appears on one external security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, reinforcing the consensus that it is being used for abusive purposes. An HTTP request to the root URL returns a 403 Forbidden status, which suggests that the web server is configured to reject unauthenticated requests, yet the presence of the blocklist entries demonstrates that the site remains reachable to targeted victims. No additional intelligence such as IP address, ASN, geographic location, SSL certificate details, or page title has been published in the available data, leaving those aspects of the infrastructure unverified at this time.

Defenders should add pharos.sbs to DNS and URL filtering policies, monitor for any changes in its name‑server configuration, and consider employing sink‑hole or redirect techniques to capture further traffic. Continuous re‑scanning with multi‑vendor services is recommended to detect any escalation in detection counts, and threat‑intel teams should share any newly observed indicators with community blocklists to improve collective protection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      05861ccb233025e2b65fcadc903e16e3a0a0764eaa9f069fe11167cc1842f44d

## 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.
