No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-01-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:09:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:53:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b6f-594f-725c-8692-d58f9420fa05/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/568438b9-8f75-4375-bcac-b46144186af2 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vectorsummitcu.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vectorsummitcu.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vectorsummitcu.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vectorsummitcu.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vectorsummitcu.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:25:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, vectorsummitcu.com, is identified as a credential theft operation impersonating Vector Summit Credit Union, a financial services brand. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate credit union login portals to harvest user credentials, likely for unauthorized account access or financial fraud. The page title, 'Vector Summit Credit Union - Dedicated to innovating, simplifying, and humanizing digital banking,' reinforces the impersonation by closely aligning with the branding of a legitimate institution, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this infrastructure. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on January 10, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC. It holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and is flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain appears on one security blocklist and was referenced in a single AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to phishing sites. Despite its recent creation date, the domain remains active and unblocked by major security providers like Google Safe Browsing. As of the latest assessment, vectorsummitcu.com remains operational, posing a high risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or search engine poisoning. The domain has been blocked by PhishDestroy, but broader mitigation requires user awareness and proactive blocking by network security tools. Organizations and individuals are advised to add this domain to deny lists, monitor for related infrastructure, and educate users on recognizing fraudulent banking portals. The remaining risk is elevated due to the domain's active status and the potential for credential theft to facilitate secondary attacks, such as account takeovers or financial fraud. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 16/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-5C1764 Favicon MD5: ab5aef36152f1827b431d73b77b8be34 TLS cert SHA-256: 18201b86119fff171bc34f95e54005a0b74d3df1a0c7efe8858e7bc575add8ae ## 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 (volunteer 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/vectorsummitcu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vectorsummitcu.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
