# PhishDestroy threat dossier — seattle.org-uwr.cyou ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 05:27:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/seattle.org-uwr.cyou/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registered: 2026-06-12 HTTP response: 502 ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 00:31:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-16 04:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:01:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:49:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, seattle.org-uwr.cyou, is identified as part of a credential theft campaign targeting users affiliated with academic institutions. Analysis indicates the domain mimics legitimate university subdomains, specifically impersonating branding associated with the University of Washington (UW) or related entities. The inclusion of 'seattle.org' in the subdomain structure suggests an attempt to exploit trust in regional educational institutions, while the use of a non-standard top-level domain (.cyou) is consistent with phishing infrastructure observed in recent credential harvesting operations. No specific drainer kit signatures have been confirmed, but the domain’s structure aligns with campaigns designed to capture login credentials for email, student portals, or internal systems. Technical indicators reveal the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar, a date that may reflect either a typographical error in the dataset or an attempt to evade detection by appearing newly established. The domain resolves to an unspecified IP address, though historical records or passive DNS analysis may provide further context. As of the latest assessment, VirusTotal reports 14 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, with detections categorized under credential theft or generic phishing. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and no entries were found in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at the time of analysis. The low blocklist count coupled with the elevated VirusTotal detection rate suggests the infrastructure is relatively new or has evaded broader detection mechanisms. The domain is currently offline, likely taken down following reports or automated detection by security platforms. However, the risk of re-emergence remains elevated, particularly if the threat actors retain control of the domain registration or associated infrastructure. Users who may have interacted with the domain are advised to reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window, particularly those tied to educational or institutional services. Organizations should monitor for similar domain registrations using variations of 'seattle.org' or 'uwr' and implement proactive blocking of newly observed phishing infrastructure. The use of non-standard top-level domains (.cyou) in such campaigns underscores the need for heightened scrutiny of domain registrations outside traditional gTLDs or ccTLDs. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/seattle.org-uwr.cyou/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seattle.org-uwr.cyou 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
