# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sign-ahrefs.lat ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 10:12:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sign-ahrefs.lat/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 84.200.205.162 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: ASAS44066 DE-FIRSTCOLO firstcolo GmbH, DE Hosting org: AS214036 Ultahost, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ["clyde.ns.cloudflare.com", "teresa.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: sign-ahrefs.lat ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:40:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01981533-88f8-776a-9bc2-9246ba4ffa7f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sign-ahrefs.lat crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sign-ahrefs.lat Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sign-ahrefs.lat AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sign-ahrefs.lat URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sign-ahrefs.lat/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 17:06:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies sign-ahrefs.lat as a generic phishing domain established on February 21, 2026. Classified under low-risk threats, this domain was created to impersonate legitimate online services, potentially aiming to harvest user credentials or personal information. Despite its low risk rating, vigilance is necessary as phishing tactics evolve rapidly. Technical analysis reveals that sign-ahrefs.lat was registered through NameSilo, LLC, a common registrar for malicious domains due to its accessibility. VirusTotal flagged this domain by one of 95 participating security vendors, and it appears on one security blocklist, indicating recognition by threat intelligence systems. The domain's infrastructure lacked extensive malicious activity, which contributed to the low risk classification. However, its naming convention suggests an attempt to mimic established brands, a common phishing technique. Currently, sign-ahrefs.lat is offline, having been taken down following detection. This deactivation reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the potential for future abuse if the domain or similar variants are re-registered. Continuous monitoring and prompt response remain essential. Users and organizations are encouraged to maintain cautious browsing habits and utilize domain blocklists like those provided by PhishDestroy to mitigate exposure to such threats. ## 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/sign-ahrefs.lat/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sign-ahrefs.lat 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.
