## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy listed protofire.org on 2026-10-26 after an automated detection flagged a malicious label on VirusTotal. The domain redirected to its www subdomain and displayed the title “AI‑Powered Executive Hiring Platform”. A prior AI assessment described the page as clean, noting no impersonation or credential‑stealing content. The first sighting occurred 66 days after the domain was registered.

How the scam works
No specific malicious behavior was observed on the page, so the listing relies on external detections that suggest the domain could be used for phishing, malware distribution, or other fraudulent activity. In general, domains flagged by security engines may host deceptive pages, lure users into providing personal data, or serve malicious downloads. Visitors should treat any unsolicited request for credentials or downloads with suspicion.

Evidence
VirusTotal (analysis 2026-10-24) reported 1 malicious detection out of 92 engines, flagged by CRDF. Google Safe Browsing (checked 2026-10-26) returned no warning. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL listed the domain (checked 2026-10-26). OTX recorded 4 pulses mentioning the domain (checked 2026-10-26). Cloudflare Radar (2026-10-26) categorized it as malware. URLScan (2026-10-26) gave an engine‑based malicious score of 83 but an overall non‑malicious verdict.

Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-21 through Squarespace Domains LLC. The recorded DNS resolution pointed to 37.221.111.69, and the server identified itself as nginx/1.18.0 on Ubuntu, with ports 22, 80, 443, 3000 observed. TLS used a Let's Encrypt certificate valid until 2026-11-22 and DNSSEC was enabled. No additional infrastructure is linked to the listing.

What to do
Users should avoid entering login credentials, personal data, or downloading files from protofire.org. If credentials were submitted, change them immediately. Administrators should block the domain at the network perimeter and monitor outbound connections to the recorded IP. Continue to watch for updates from PhishDestroy.
