## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Netcraft
URLQuery:        2 detections

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      92.113.23.197 (DE, Frankfurt am Main)
ASN:             AS47583 Hostinger International Limited
Hosting org:     HOSTINGER DE
Registrar:       PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com
Nameservers:     ["ns1.dns-parking.com", "ns2.dns-parking.com"]
Registered:      2026-04-22

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R13
Expires:    2026-06-13
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 51d700c4d5babda762d56280765c46d069959bbe3c76d257c823c075efba6d0c
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.vestmaze.com

## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-22 20:40:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-22 17:48:04 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-23 13:02:16 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 03:12:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 20:42:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

vestmaze.com is a recently activated high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users into believing it represents the legitimate business VEST MAZE LIMITED. The site leverages an SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt to appear trustworthy, but its actual purpose is to harvest sensitive user data such as login credentials, payment details, or personal information through fraudulent forms or links. The page title explicitly mimics legitimate branding, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among unsuspecting visitors.  This domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, highlighting how newly registered phishing domains can evade detection initially. It resolves to IP address 92.113.23.197 and was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on March 20, 2025—just days ago—indicating a fresh and rapidly evolving threat. Despite its low current detection rate, the domain remains active as of this report, posing an immediate danger to anyone who accesses it.  If you have visited vestmaze.com, stop entering any information immediately and check your accounts for unauthorized access. Run a full antivirus scan on your device to detect potential malware. Report the domain to your internet service provider or cybersecurity team, and avoid clicking any links or downloading files from this site. Consider changing passwords for sensitive accounts, especially if you entered any data on the page. Stay vigilant—this domain is actively being used in phishing campaigns and should be treated as a confirmed threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-5CB931
Favicon MD5:       8a47a934f526ee0143fc97352ff68c28
TLS cert SHA-256:      51d700c4d5babda762d56280765c46d069959bbe3c76d257c823c075efba6d0c

## 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.
