## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      66.55.66.105 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS54913 Kamatera, Inc.
Hosting org:     Cloud Web Manage
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## 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

text-secure-esl.top Fake ESL Federal Credit Union Login Alert

This domain, text-secure-esl.top, is actively impersonating ESL Federal Credit Union as part of a high-risk credential phishing campaign. Registered on July 18, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, the domain resolves to IP address 66.55.66.105 and uses nameservers ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, and ns3.dnsowl.com. The page title, 'ESL Federal Credit Union - Log in,' directly matches the branding of the legitimate financial institution, indicating a targeted attempt to harvest user credentials.  Analysis indicates the domain is flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and is blocked by PhishDestroy. Seventeen of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The infrastructure, including the use of DNSowl nameservers and a recently registered domain, aligns with patterns observed in phishing operations. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed threat, block access to 66.55.66.105, and monitor for related indicators of compromise. The exact content of the phishing page remains unanalyzed, but the combination of domain registration details, infrastructure, and detection flags provides sufficient evidence to classify this as an active and credible threat targeting ESL Federal Credit Union customers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260719-7C09F1
TLS cert SHA-256:      0be210fb38baf9e37d6e78415623fbdabf530c67eed52fb411c3c4061ee7e52b

## 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.
