Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Sterlingvests.com Phishing Site Detected Sterlingvests.com is flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure. The domain was registered through Ultahost, Inc. and uses four authoritative nameservers (ns1.ultahost.com, ns2.ultahost.com, ns3.ultahost.com, ns4.ultahost.com). It was created on July 03, 2026 and remains active on the reporting date of July 30, 2026. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 159.100.6.5, which is the only known hosting endpoint for the observed activity. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy sink‑hole service, indicating that at least one defensive feed has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis shows that four of ninety‑one scanning engines have raised detections against the domain, providing independent confirmation of its suspicious nature. No public page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been disclosed, so the exact content served by the site cannot be verified at this time. The lack of additional contextual indicators such as brand impersonation or payload specifics limits attribution, but the combination of recent registration, single‑IP hosting, blocklist presence, and multiple vendor detections meets the criteria for a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Defenders should immediately add 159.100.6.5 and the domain name sterlingvests.com to outbound and inbound deny lists, monitor DNS queries for the four listed nameservers, and consider sinkholing the IP to prevent further credential harvesting. Continuous re‑analysis is advised to capture any emerging page content, certificate changes, or additional vendor detections that may refine the threat profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-3BC76B Favicon MD5: 2aff2507372fe2563982025574185d7b TLS cert SHA-256: 19e5571bedc9c4922047c9b6b749396a84b4613a88c92c129c298b36df073f33 ## 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/sterlingvests.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=sterlingvests.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.
