No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-16 21:40:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-16 18:42:17 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-19 14:46:25 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d9796-6f1e-7428-82d8-eae58e023188/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/71f8bdf8-743b-479f-b3dd-7d9a2be37e4a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/prescotthale.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.prescotthale.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=prescotthale.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/prescotthale.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/prescotthale.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-16 21:40:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies prescotthale.com as a credential theft site designed to trick users into surrendering login credentials under the guise of a legitimate service. This domain registered on March 27, 2026, exhibits no detections on VirusTotal (0/95), suggesting it has evaded automated scanning tools so far. The site resolves to 172.67.197.64 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, both common among fraudulent domains to appear trustworthy. The combination of a recent creation date, low detection rate, and lack of historical scrutiny makes this a high-priority threat for both individuals and organizations to monitor closely. This domain was flagged for its active role in credential theft campaigns, where attackers mimic trusted brands or services to harvest usernames and passwords. The absence of detections (0/95 on VirusTotal) indicates that signature-based defenses have not yet identified its malicious payload, which is typical for newly deployed threats. Registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO., the domain follows a pattern frequently exploited by threat actors to rapidly stand up malicious infrastructure before takedown or blacklisting occurs. Monitoring for this IP (172.67.197.64) and domain may reveal additional related sites operating in the same campaign. If you or someone in your organization visited prescotthale.com, assume your credentials may have been compromised. Immediately change passwords for any accounts where the same email or password combination might have been used. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts, even those not directly tied to this domain. Report the domain to your security team and consider revoking any active sessions associated with the site. Use tools like Have I Been Pwned to check if your email appears in known data breaches, and remain vigilant for phishing emails or unauthorized login attempts following your visit. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260416-632668 Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 TLS cert SHA-256: 82c25b59560e89d9d518258195e9971aa09fcbadb70a0fd2c50e4aba75a770b2 ## 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/prescotthale.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=prescotthale.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.
