No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-03 16:01:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 04:30:13 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2846-e40a-714a-aa7b-a0577e4118a1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/varoational.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.varoational.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=varoational.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/varoational.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/varoational.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-03 16:04:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, varoational.io, is currently under investigation for credential phishing activity targeting financial or authentication services. Analysis indicates the site employs a generic phishing framework, potentially designed to harvest login credentials through deceptive input forms. No specific brand impersonation or drainer kit signatures have been confirmed at this stage, though the domain structure and Cloudflare proxy suggest a scalable phishing operation. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.163.121, a Cloudflare node, and was registered on May 26, 2026, through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. As of the latest scan, the domain has a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating no security engines have flagged it yet. Google Safe Browsing status remains unlisted, and no blocklist entries have been recorded across major threat intelligence platforms. The site remains active, serving a Cloudflare challenge page with the title 'Just a moment...', which may precede a phishing landing page. No takedown requests have been observed, and the registrar has not responded to abuse reports. The absence of detections does not preclude malicious intent, as the domain's recent registration and proxy use are consistent with evasion tactics. Users are advised to treat this domain as high-risk until further analysis confirms its legitimacy or malicious classification. Organizations should monitor for connections to 172.67.163.121 and consider preemptive blocking of varoational.io in endpoint protection systems. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: d45e8dba5a2992c886ee5396b4f6b1ef94cd41ce8f0f1cbdcb9fc997edd2c578 ## 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/varoational.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=varoational.io 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.
