Hosting org: AWS EC2 (us-east-1) Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-1533.awsdns-63.org", "ns-1956.awsdns-52.co.uk", "ns-197.awsdns-24.com", "ns-779.awsdns-33.net"] Registered: 2026-04-28 HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-06-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 75c3b5ea6d93bdf1969452cc6f7fbe07303d8f8e24e1751ef220f931c9525c6c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - itpatches.com ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 17:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-17 20:27:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 02:18:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-09 14:33:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above.

Technical Details - Registrar: MarkMonitor Inc. - Hosting IP: 34.194.247.17 - VirusTotal: 13 out of 95 security vendors detected this domain as malicious (domain scan) - Domain Created: 2026-04-28 Recommendations - Block and report this domain immediately via your threat-intel platform - Monitor for any related domains or URLs that may be part of the same campaign - Educate users on the signs of phishing and how to avoid falling victim to such scams ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c8b6314dfa262958c16db10f4f5eecb TLS cert SHA-256: 75c3b5ea6d93bdf1969452cc6f7fbe07303d8f8e24e1751ef220f931c9525c6c ## 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/seneca.itpatches.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=seneca.itpatches.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.
