# PhishDestroy threat dossier — vaobax.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 21:58:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vaobax.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 68/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: nicole.ns.cloudflare.com, vasilii.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-29 Expires: 2027-06-29 Page title: VAOBAX: Login Page ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5a0e4afe9c03de56e191647f11159c20e4c35b376820d2a5e2141883ad323013 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-02 16:24:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-02 14:26:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-03 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-03 12:02:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2336-ba6f-749d-8f77-fb23b62a5d0f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/e8ebf20b-2463-48b2-a31a-94b82bcf33d3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vaobax.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vaobax.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vaobax.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vaobax.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vaobax.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-02 16:35:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through a fraudulent login interface. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to mimic legitimate authentication portals, tricking victims into submitting sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, or multi-factor authentication codes. The page title, VAOBAX: Login Page, reinforces this deception by presenting a seemingly official login prompt. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 29, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with malicious registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which may host additional phishing or malware-distribution infrastructure. VirusTotal detection shows 1/95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, suggesting limited but present awareness within the security community. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, a legitimate provider often exploited to lend credibility to phishing sites. No blocklist entries or trust score data were provided, but the domain remains active and operational as of this assessment. Mitigation against this specific threat requires immediate action from network defenders and end users. Organizations should block the domain vaobax.com and its resolving IP 188.114.96.3 at the perimeter firewall, proxy, or DNS level to prevent access. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to this IP or domain in logs, particularly from endpoints where authentication attempts may have occurred. End users should be alerted to the presence of this phishing site and instructed to report any login attempts made to vaobax.com. If credentials were entered, immediate password resets and account reviews are necessary for all affected services. Additionally, multi-factor authentication should be enforced to mitigate the impact of stolen credentials. Given the domain's recent registration and active status, continued monitoring for related infrastructure or similar phishing domains is recommended.

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/vaobax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vaobax.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.
