[Generated: 2026-04-27 15:51:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain ssl[.]tech-institute[.]org has been flagged as a phishing threat. PhishDestroy's automated scanning systems detected multiple risk indicators associated with this domain.
Detection Details
This domain was identified through a combination of automated analysis, community reports, and cross-referencing with global threat intelligence feeds including VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, and 50+ specialized blocklists.
Risk Indicators

- Domain registered on org TLD
- Domain length: 22 characters
- Vt Detected

Stay Safe
Always verify URLs before entering credentials. Use a password manager to avoid typing passwords on fake sites. Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      9ffb3b0cff1c9d8c7645053c932cd559b589039425c63c6e1696b187c8e405a3

## 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.
