# PhishDestroy threat dossier — smtpbear.github.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 02:13:00 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/smtpbear.github.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.199.108.153 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS54113 Fastly, Inc. Hosting org: GitHub, Inc Registrar: GitHub, Inc. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: Site not found · GitHub Pages HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - github.com - github.io - githubusercontent.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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-27 02:09:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 03:53:56 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-27 12:00:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa0ed-3cf7-725c-bb23-2a8e2ff97581/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/smtpbear.github.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.smtpbear.github.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=smtpbear.github.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/smtpbear.github.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/smtpbear.github.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 02:09:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] smtpbear.github.io Safety Check — Phishing Detected The domain smtpbear.github.io is currently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing site. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to the IP address 185.199.108.153, which belongs to the GitHub Pages hosting service. Registration data indicates the domain was created through GitHub, Inc., confirming the use of a legitimate cloud‑based registrar for malicious purposes. Nameserver queries return NS_NOT_FOUND, suggesting that standard DNS delegation records are absent or obscured, which can hinder automated resolution checks. VirusTotal scans have recorded three detections out of ninety‑one participating security vendors, confirming that multiple independent engines have identified malicious activity associated with the domain. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, evidencing active defensive measures by third‑party providers. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 27, 2026, and no additional public intelligence such as page titles, SSL certificates, or HTTP status codes has been disclosed. Because the hosting provider is a widely trusted service, defenders should not assume benign intent based on the registrar alone. Recommended mitigation steps include adding smtpbear.github.io to network‑level deny lists, monitoring DNS queries for resolution to 185.199.108.153, and correlating any internal authentication attempts that reference the domain with known phishing indicators. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further analysis may reveal additional payloads or phishing templates hosted on the same infrastructure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 32491b26bfaf7bfb556029ef32299ac4374db34d09eecd4ffd01f21b2c5a8567 ## 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/smtpbear.github.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=smtpbear.github.io 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.
