# PhishDestroy threat dossier — scotlabnk.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 12:16:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/scotlabnk.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 37.49.229.75 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS3920 PUSHPKT OU Hosting org: ESTOXY OU Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ns1.controlpanel.sbs, ns2.controlpanel.sbs Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Scotia Bank HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7d159f8357cd5b329c17e4839ba59948484d7c8e6bc721386ed1b6407fecd227 ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-22 11:47:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-22 08:48:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-22 14:53:50 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 13:53:37 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db45e-ce22-712f-8582-19ee3fcaab00/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ca6bbeea-6d4d-4a4e-9c15-9d29f030840f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/scotlabnk.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.scotlabnk.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=scotlabnk.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/scotlabnk.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/scotlabnk.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-22 11:48:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies scotlabnk.com as a generic phishing domain designed to harvest user credentials under the guise of a legitimate banking service. This domain mimics legitimate financial portals to trick victims into disclosing login details, payment card data, or other sensitive information. No specific brand or drainer kit is referenced in available intelligence, but the domain's structure suggests a broad, opportunistic campaign targeting unsuspecting users seeking banking-related services. scotlabnk.com exhibits multiple indicators of malicious intent. VirusTotal analysis confirms 5 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, indicating limited but notable detection. The domain is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to IP address 37.49.229.75. A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate is in use, which may enhance the domain's perceived legitimacy. Notably, scotlabnk.com was created on April 21, 2026, suggesting a recent and potentially short-lived operation. While no Global Security Blocklist (GSB) status or blocklist count is provided, the combination of low VT detection, recent registration, and active phishing behavior elevates the risk associated with this domain. As of the latest assessment, scotlabnk.com remains active and poses an elevated threat to users. Immediate action should be taken to block traffic to this domain at network and endpoint levels. Users are advised to avoid interacting with scotlabnk.com or any associated subdomains. Organizations should update firewall rules, DNS sinkholes, and endpoint protection platforms to block this domain. Despite these measures, the risk remains due to the domain's recent creation and potential for rapid changes in infrastructure. Continuous monitoring and threat intelligence updates are critical to mitigate exposure to this credential theft scam. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260422-7E4DE5 Favicon MD5: 6b4d88485df9898b459d9820759c6767 TLS cert SHA-256: 7d159f8357cd5b329c17e4839ba59948484d7c8e6bc721386ed1b6407fecd227 ## 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/scotlabnk.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=scotlabnk.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.
