## 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.

Last verified:     2026-07-25 03:49:22 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-20 00:23:51 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

restore-you.org phishing page impersonates brand with 'Coming

Analysis of restore-you.org on July 20, 2026, reveals a domain exhibiting characteristics consistent with phishing infrastructure. The domain resolves to 198.49.23.144, an IP address geolocated to the United States and associated with Squarespace, Inc. Nameservers point to Squarespace DNS (nse1.squarespacedns.com, nse2.squarespacedns.com, nse3.squarespacedns.com), and the domain was registered through Squarespace Domains LLC, suggesting use of a commercial hosting provider commonly leveraged for both legitimate and malicious purposes. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), a common choice for threat actors due to its free and automated issuance process.  The domain is currently offline, returning an HTTP 200 status with a 'Coming Soon' page title, a tactic often employed to mask malicious intent while infrastructure is prepared or to evade immediate detection. Three security blocklists (PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL) have flagged the domain, and four of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal detected it as malicious, though the specific nature of the threat remains unconfirmed. MX records route to Google's mail servers (aspmx.l.google.com, alt2.aspmx.l.google.com), which may indicate an attempt to appear legitimate or to facilitate credential harvesting via email.  No concrete evidence links restore-you.org to a specific brand, scam type, or phishing kit at this time. The 'Coming Soon' page title does not reveal the intended target or lure. Defenders should treat this domain as elevated risk due to its presence on multiple blocklists and detection by security vendors. Network-level blocking is recommended, and security teams should monitor for any re-emergence or changes in infrastructure, such as updated DNS records, new SSL certificates, or shifts in hosting providers. Further analysis of historical DNS data, WHOIS changes, and associated IP ranges may provide additional context.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      07937aef168e23280296736a4954b56dae31a2f1ffbf21ae0f41d6a73b79b864

## 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.
