# PhishDestroy threat dossier — site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 11:12:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation (BT) Targeted brand: BT ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 23/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Ermes, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Sophos, Trustwave, URLQuery, VIPRE, Webroot, Yandex Safebrowsing URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 13.248.243.5 (US, Seattle) ASN: ASAS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: cns1.secureserver.net, cns2.secureserver.net Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: BT ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: GoDaddy.com, Inc. / Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2 Expires: 2026-08-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5dba801444d0fbaee3fa8cfdd83bf462dc5efc0955caa6d29b5431b89e28fa9b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - godaddysites.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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-01 15:49:20 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 12:01:04 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c193f-8fab-77fb-8f2a-7993805ece42/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-18 23:52:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the well-known brand BT. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain was created with malicious intent to deceive users by mimicking BT's identity, leveraging trust associated with the brand. Technical analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 13.248.243.5. VirusTotal flagged it by 23 out of 95 security vendors, and it appears on one security blocklist. The Gridinsoft trust score is critically low at 0/100, indicating strong indicators of malicious activity. Currently, the domain is offline, reflecting efforts to mitigate the threat. Despite being taken down, users should remain vigilant as similar domains may emerge. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain and reporting suspicious communications related to BT impersonation. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 23/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 2c0b8b1b44960fa5584fb5d8f1bb50e21662ec06a70fca8eedf8299c69f2e2ba TLS cert SHA-256: 5dba801444d0fbaee3fa8cfdd83bf462dc5efc0955caa6d29b5431b89e28fa9b ## 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/site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=site-rq5m5et7b.godaddysites.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.
