# PhishDestroy threat dossier — staging.argo.patiobydesign.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-28 23:55:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/staging.argo.patiobydesign.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 53/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Fortinet, G-Data, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.149.120.183 (RU, Rostov-on-Don) ASN: AS57724 DDOS-GUARD LTD Hosting org: Ddos-guard LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dreamhost.com", "ns2.dreamhost.com", "ns3.dreamhost.com"] Page title: 404 Not Found HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-10-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 049aa442fffca767d22148a765afce9d260c44e8acd9ba7a710721b6f4f559fe Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - admin.access.patiobydesign.com - admin.lyuhhsecureaccess.patiobydesign.com - admin.rds1.patiobydesign.com - api.lmwe62tlcch5d2vb.patiobydesign.com - api.remoterd.patiobydesign.com - backend.mushroom.patiobydesign.com - demo.remoterd.patiobydesign.com - demo.wmpwedevarg.patiobydesign.com - dev.intelligence.patiobydesign.com - dev.lyuhhsecureaccess.patiobydesign.com - dev.nybmlqa-report.patiobydesign.com - en.patiobydesign.com - online.patiobydesign.com - sber.old2.patiobydesign.com - serversupport.patiobydesign.com ... +29 more ## 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: 2026-07-28 11:13:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-29 00:20:25 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-28 12:58:29 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-28 11:14:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] staging.argo.patiobydesign.com — Generic Phishing Report The domain staging.argo.patiobydesign.com is presently flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing site. VirusTotal reports that seven of ninety‑one scanned security vendors have identified malicious activity associated with the domain, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate. The domain remains active and returns an HTTP 301 redirect, which suggests the operator is preserving the URL while forwarding traffic to another location. Registration information shows the domain was created through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and the authoritative name servers are ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com, and ns3.dreamhost.com, confirming hosting on DreamHost infrastructure. The domain is listed on a single public blocklist and has been specifically blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing the view that it is being used for phishing campaigns. At present no evidence of a specific brand impersonated by the site has been disclosed, and the page title has not been captured, so analysts cannot confirm which legitimate service the phishing page purports to mimic. The limited detection footprint—only one blocklist entry—may reflect recent deployment or evasion of broader feeds. Because the domain uses DreamHost name servers, investigators should consider reviewing other domains hosted on the same name‑server set for potential related activity. No public information is currently available regarding the underlying IP address, SSL certificate details, or associated malware kits, leaving the full scope of the malicious infrastructure uncertain. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, update DNS‑based filtering rules, and monitor for any newly observed redirects or payloads linked to the same host names. Ongoing surveillance of the domain’s status on VirusTotal and blocklist feeds is recommended to detect any change in detection count or additional listings that could indicate escalation of the threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 049aa442fffca767d22148a765afce9d260c44e8acd9ba7a710721b6f4f559fe ## 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/staging.argo.patiobydesign.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=staging.argo.patiobydesign.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
