================================================================

Fetched:   2026-05-20 16:37:13 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/y8-h5.com/

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

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos
AlienVault OTX:  3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      34.92.213.40 (HK, Hong Kong)
ASN:             ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM, US
Hosting org:     AS396982 Google LLC
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     E8
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2024-09-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:20:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-17 00:50:26 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-11 12:44:38 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:54:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies y8-h5.com as a phishing domain posing a medium risk to users. Such domains are designed to trick individuals into divulging sensitive information, leading to potential identity theft or financial loss. Although this domain is currently offline, it was active enough to attract attention from multiple threat intelligence sources.

The phishing approach used by y8-h5.com likely involved impersonation and fake login pages to deceive victims. These tactics aim to harvest credentials or personal data under false pretenses. Being registered through a dead domain service and appearing on security blocklists further confirms its malicious intent. Users encountering this site may have been targeted through spam emails or misleading links.

If someone visited y8-h5.com, it is crucial to monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and change any passwords that might have been entered. Running a full security scan and enabling multi-factor authentication on affected accounts can help mitigate risks. Staying cautious with unexpected emails and checking URL legitimacy can prevent future exposure to phishing threats.

## 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.
