pharoshub.xyz Fake Brand Alert

The risk level of pharoshub.xyz is elevated due to its generic phishing nature, which specifically targets users with deceptive tactics. 
   
   PhishDestroy identifies that this domain was flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it was registered through Namecheap on May 27, 2026, resolving to the IP address 216.150.16.193, while also being listed on 1 security blocklist, and having an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, with the R13 certificate, all of which contribute to its suspicious profile.

   To stay safe from generic phishing threats like pharoshub.xyz, which has been taken offline, users should be cautious when clicking on links, verify the authenticity of websites, and keep their antivirus software up to date, as this domain's elevated risk level and specific threat type necessitate proactive measures to prevent potential harm, using the unique seed 63c214 to track and analyze similar threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      6358cbaff0bc72d6561281f1f395962e1f9ec1272258573282fd9954fcba619b

## 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.
