## 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: 2026-07-04 14:25:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain portlregency.spahotel.guru poses a high-risk threat due to its involvement in brand impersonation phishing. This domain is actively mimicking the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa to deceive users into providing sensitive information. The threat level is categorized as high because of the potential impact on users who may be misled by the fake branding and layout presented by the site.

In an in-depth analysis, portlregency.spahotel.guru resolves to the IP address 52.29.26.157 and uses a SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. According to VirusTotal, 9 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain for suspicious activity, indicating a significant level of distrust among security services. The site is currently active and poses an immediate risk. The registrar details are not provided in the available data, but these technical indicators suggest a strong likelihood of malicious intent.

To mitigate the risks associated with this domain, it is advised that users refrain from interacting with any communications or websites resembling the Portland Regency Hotel & Spa unless they can be positively verified as legitimate through official channels. Network administrators should consider blocking the IP address 52.29.26.157 at the firewall level to prevent accidental access. Additionally, educating users about the risks of brand impersonation and phishing tactics can further reduce the chances of compromising sensitive data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f64ad864d87e446dc9f89caf5522936c
TLS cert SHA-256:      727d6a8ceaad8a64c8f5fec1a7ccc97c46570e980ffbe51a4893284ec68f6c5e

## 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.
