# PhishDestroy threat dossier — sparespace.com.ng ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 16:05:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/sparespace.com.ng/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, LevelBlue, SOCRadar, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 163.61.188.7 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE Hosting org: MIT Registrar: TRUEHOST CLOUD Nameservers: dns1.lytehosting.com, dns2.lytehosting.com, dns3.lytehosting.com, dns4.lytehosting.com, ns1.cprapid.com, ns2.cprapid.com Registered: 2025-10-29 Expires: 2026-10-29 Page title: Home - Spare Space Limited ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9b1545becd651fdb1307c6b08dd1996cd62506b3ee26061b2854f06c72d13952 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - mail.sparespace.com.ng - www.sparespace.com.ng ## 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: 2025-10-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:54:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:29:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b61-ec05-7697-8af2-60935ff810ea/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/76e57f3f-8d3c-4529-8895-276d0e6da491 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/sparespace.com.ng crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.sparespace.com.ng Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=sparespace.com.ng AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/sparespace.com.ng URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/sparespace.com.ng/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:57:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis of sparespace.com.ng has confirmed it as a high-risk domain involved in credential theft. The domain does not impersonate a specific brand but is designed to trick users into revealing sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. The threat leverages a deceptive web interface to capture credentials, making it particularly dangerous for unsuspecting visitors. Technical indicators reveal that sparespace.com.ng has a VirusTotal score of 4/95, indicating that 4 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. The domain is registered through TRUEHOST CLOUD and resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7. It was created on October 29, 2025, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, suggesting a complete lack of trustworthiness. Additionally, the domain appears on 1 security blocklist, further confirming its malicious nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly used by both legitimate and malicious sites, and does not inherently indicate trustworthiness. The domain remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users. Immediate response actions include blocking the domain at the network level, educating users about the specific threat, and monitoring for any additional malicious activity. Despite efforts to mitigate the threat, there remains a risk of ongoing credential theft, and users should be cautious when interacting with any links or pages related to this domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-5B361B Favicon MD5: 04644304955b9dcb005403367bafdffd TLS cert SHA-256: 9b1545becd651fdb1307c6b08dd1996cd62506b3ee26061b2854f06c72d13952 ## 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/sparespace.com.ng/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sparespace.com.ng 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.
