REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — Trustname / Fewmoretaps OU !!! Trustname (IANA #4318) is a shell company declaring EUR 120 annual revenue, 1 employee, negative equity, Belarusian ownership. Explicitly advertises itself as 'bulletproof' in its DNS TXT records.

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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 17:51:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-28 14:53:09 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-13 15:21:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-08 05:39:52 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. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd490-f1c4-7718-8a96-911d5dd19263/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8cba28e5-6a4e-47f7-8dd4-6ca21e35af27 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/viabestbuys.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.viabestbuys.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=viabestbuys.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/viabestbuys.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/viabestbuys.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 17:52:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies viabestbuys.com as an active credential-stealing phishing domain designed to impersonate Best Buy’s online storefront, tricking users into entering payment details on fraudulent checkout pages. This domain was flagged by just 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, increasing the risk of undetected phishing attacks reaching potential victims. Registered through Fewmoretaps OU (operating as Trustname.com) on November 28, 2016, viabestbuys.com resolves to IP address 190.115.31.153 and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Sectigo Limited—tactics commonly abused by threat actors to appear legitimate. The domain’s age and seemingly innocuous registration details mask its malicious purpose, making it particularly dangerous for unsuspecting shoppers. Users who visited viabestbuys.com should immediately review their online accounts for unauthorized transactions and reset any passwords entered on the site. Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or messages referencing 'Best Buy' promotions. Report the domain to your security team or use tools like browser-based blocklists. If sensitive data was entered, consider freezing credit reports and monitoring financial statements closely. Proactive scanning of endpoint devices is recommended to detect potential malware downloaded during the visit. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-79993D Favicon MD5: 3e65bfab1807956f20bcf7833b7be066 TLS cert SHA-256: e538ef00aee358dff9415505154d27818c4b723fdd2af471d44553ad2ccaebca ## 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/viabestbuys.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=viabestbuys.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.
