Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vahtajob.com, is actively engaged in a fake overseas employment scam designed to deceive individuals seeking high-paying jobs abroad. The site presents itself as a legitimate recruitment platform offering salaries up to $10,000 per month, with promises of covered travel and accommodation expenses. Analysis of the page title, Работа за границей — до $10 000 в месяц | Билеты и жильё за наш счёт, indicates the campaign specifically targets Russian-speaking users. The fraudulent nature of this operation is evident through the use of exaggerated financial incentives and fabricated job offers, which are common tactics in employment scams to lure victims into disclosing personal information, paying advance fees, or engaging in other forms of financial exploitation. Infrastructure analysis reveals several technical indicators supporting the classification of this domain as malicious. The domain was registered on July 3, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.160.242, which is part of a network known for hosting phishing and scam-related content. Detection metrics from VirusTotal show that 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged vahtajob.com as malicious, a relatively low detection rate that may reflect the domain's recent registration or the use of evasion techniques. Additionally, the domain employs an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which, while providing encryption, does not validate the legitimacy of the site's content or operators. Individuals who have interacted with vahtajob.com should take immediate steps to mitigate potential risks. If personal or financial information was submitted, affected parties should monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and consider placing fraud alerts with relevant financial institutions. It is also advisable to change passwords for any accounts that may have been accessed or created during the interaction with the site. Users should report the domain to their local cybersecurity authorities or consumer protection agencies to assist in broader mitigation efforts. For organizations, blocking the domain and its associated IP address (172.67.160.242) at the network level can prevent further exposure to this threat. Awareness of such scams, particularly those leveraging enticing job offers, is critical in reducing victimization rates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 43e9722a14572a9ec444ce9d5450bce7b8ccade04bcca6e3eacf9aebf83ed8fa ## 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/vahtajob.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vahtajob.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.
