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: 2023-10-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-27 00:54:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-27 06:33:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:50:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 12:09:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c9bed-6d1d-722e-823b-934a736fb6f3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0f2c496a-933f-4a93-a168-5a306ce5b89c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/vertelwaves.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.vertelwaves.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=vertelwaves.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/vertelwaves.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/vertelwaves.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 06:05:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies vertelwaves.com as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, posing a low-level risk to users. Although currently offline, this domain was registered recently and appeared suspicious due to multiple security blocklists and detections by some security vendors. Phishing sites like this aim to deceive visitors into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. The modus operandi of phishing on vertelwaves.com likely involved mimicking legitimate web pages or services to trick users into submitting private data. Attackers often employ convincing designs and requests to appear authentic, making it crucial to scrutinize any unexpected prompts for personal information. The domain’s low trust score and presence on threat lists indicate it was not trustworthy and potentially harmful. If you have visited vertelwaves.com, it is advisable to monitor your accounts for unusual activity and change passwords for any services where you might have entered credentials. Running a comprehensive malware and antivirus scan can help detect any infections. Always ensure you only interact with verified websites and remain cautious of unsolicited links to safeguard your digital security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260227-50501E Favicon MD5: 93d7ce13abfbb85f0666ce30affa4486 TLS cert SHA-256: 887d22fb18d7450ab756c1eda9b75d5698c1686bbb4940e3b6c2db7ebb7dd4d3 ## 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/vertelwaves.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vertelwaves.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.
