pick-your-gift.store WHOIS verification phishing site

Analysis indicates that pick-your-gift.store is currently active and serves a phishing page titled “Registrant WHOIS contact information verification | Namecheap.com”. The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. and uses the nameservers verify-contact-details.namecheap.com and failed-whois-verification.namecheap.co (truncated). DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 198.54.117.242, which is geolocated to the United States according to Web‑hosting.com. HTTP requests return status code 200, confirming that the site is reachable. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is listed as blocked by the PhishDestroy feed. VirusTotal scans show that eight of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious activity. The risk level is rated high and the status remains active as of the report date, July 19 2026. Open questions include the exact content of the phishing page beyond the title, any additional infrastructure such as C2 servers, and whether the domain employs redirection or credential‑harvesting scripts. Defenders should add pick-your-gift.store to URL filtering and DNS block lists, monitor traffic to 198.54.117.242, and consider ingesting the PhishDestroy indicator into existing threat‑intel platforms. Continuous re‑scanning with sandbox and endpoint solutions is advised to detect any payloads that may be delivered through the site.

## 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.
