Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/privatemeet.space/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      178.16.137.199 (IN, Mumbai)
Hosting org:     AS47583 Hostinger International Limited
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Nameservers:     horizon.dns-parking.com, orbit.dns-parking.com
Registered:      2026-06-25
Expires:         2027-06-25

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-25 20:18:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-25 18:21:14 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-26 00:03:05 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 20:26:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as an active credential theft phishing operation. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest user login credentials through deceptive login portals, likely impersonating legitimate services to trick victims into submitting sensitive information. The risk level remains under investigation due to the absence of prior detections, but the technical indicators suggest a deliberate attempt to evade initial scrutiny.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following data points: the domain privatemeet.space was registered on June 25, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It resolves to the IP address 178.16.137.199 and currently holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. VirusTotal reports 0 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating it has not yet been widely detected or blocked. No entries exist on major blocklists, and trust scores remain neutral due to the lack of prior alerts. The future-dated registration (2026) is atypical and may signal an attempt to bypass automated domain age-based filtering.  Mitigation steps for credential theft phishing include immediate domain monitoring and blocking at the network perimeter. Organizations should implement email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to privatemeet.space and conduct user awareness training to recognize fake login prompts. Security teams are advised to inspect web traffic logs for connections to 178.16.137.199 and review endpoint telemetry for any attempts to access the domain. If credential exposure is confirmed, affected accounts should be locked, passwords reset, and multi-factor authentication enforced. Proactive hunting for related infrastructure (e.g., domains registered via HOSTINGER with future-dated creation timestamps) is recommended to identify additional threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260625-1B54DB

## 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.
