spahotel.guru: Confirmed Hotel Booking Phishing Site

Analysis of spahotel.guru confirms it as an active phishing domain targeting the hospitality sector, with infrastructure and detection patterns consistent with credential harvesting operations. The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. and remains operational as of July 28, 2026, returning an HTTP 200 status code. It is hosted on nameservers launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net, a configuration commonly observed in phishing campaigns leveraging registrar-provided DNS services. Fourteen of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain, and it appears on at least one security blocklist, indicating cross-industry recognition of malicious activity.

While the exact content of the site has not been analyzed, the domain name and detection context suggest it is designed to mimic legitimate hotel booking platforms to capture user credentials or payment details. The registrar, Spaceship, Inc., is frequently used by threat actors due to its permissive registration policies and bulk domain services. No additional infrastructure details, such as IP address or autonomous system number (ASN), are currently available, limiting further attribution.

Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and implement blocking at the DNS or proxy level. Security teams are advised to monitor associated nameservers for additional malicious domains and review logs for connections to spahotel.guru, particularly from corporate or guest networks where travel-related services are accessed. Given the domain's persistence and detection history, it is unlikely to be a false positive, and proactive containment measures are recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f64ad864d87e446dc9f89caf5522936c
TLS cert SHA-256:      727d6a8ceaad8a64c8f5fec1a7ccc97c46570e980ffbe51a4893284ec68f6c5e

## 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.
