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: 2025-11-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:18:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 14:24:26 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 12:40:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea8b-0f36-72ad-9677-9adba0e87dbb/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a3ad0960-cb07-442a-9310-8100324919b2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pioneersmaritime.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pioneersmaritime.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pioneersmaritime.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pioneersmaritime.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pioneersmaritime.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain pioneersmaritime.com, now offline, was identified as a phishing threat with 3 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors flagging it as malicious. This domain, registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, was hosted on IP 217.76.51.133 in France, under Contabo GmbH's ASN. Despite being taken down, its brief period of activity posed significant risks to users. PhishDestroy first detected pioneersmaritime.com on June 21, 2026, shortly after its creation on November 26, 2025. The domain's SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for attackers due to its ease of access and cost-free nature. The domain's platform risk score was assessed at 66/100, indicating a moderate level of threat. The domain's presence on a public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, underscores its malicious intent. While the domain is no longer active, its short-lived operation highlights the ongoing challenges in combating phishing attacks. The use of a reputable registrar and a legitimate SSL issuer suggests a level of sophistication in its setup, aimed at deceiving users into trusting the site. Phishing domains like pioneersmaritime.com exploit the gap between registration and detection, often going unnoticed by many security vendors initially. This case exemplifies the importance of early detection systems in identifying and mitigating threats before they can cause harm. The swift takedown of pioneersmaritime.com demonstrates effective intervention but also serves as a reminder of the persistent nature of phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-490FF4 Favicon MD5: 5523971f8a92eb12a21d7ad45370a58f TLS cert SHA-256: 6b86190d6b943bea4507bda42f10b5ca349110f69c7b978abb2f11658fb50426 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pioneersmaritime.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pioneersmaritime.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
