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: 2025-09-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:19:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 14:26:15 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea8b-73e0-718a-9336-17d46dfd8fea/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6e665099-0851-43cb-860d-8857c5115a41 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/zambshipadmin.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.zambshipadmin.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=zambshipadmin.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/zambshipadmin.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/zambshipadmin.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] zambshipadmin.org is a phishing domain that has been flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of detection across security platforms. The domain, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, was first identified by PhishDestroy on June 21, 2026, and is currently offline. Despite its offline status, the domain's previous activity highlights its role in malicious operations. The domain was hosted on an IP address in France, managed by Contabo GmbH under ASN 51167. Its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of use and free availability. The domain was created on September 6, 2025, suggesting a relatively short lifespan before its detection and subsequent takedown. zambshipadmin.org's inclusion in one public blocklist, specifically by PhishDestroy, underscores its identification as a threat in the cybersecurity community. The platform risk score of 66 out of 100 further illustrates the potential danger it posed during its active period. Such domains often exploit the gap between registration and detection to carry out phishing attacks, targeting unsuspecting users before security measures can be fully implemented. The swift action leading to the domain's offline status demonstrates effective collaboration between registrars, hosting providers, and cybersecurity entities. While the domain is no longer active, its initial detection and the subsequent response highlight the importance of proactive threat identification and mitigation in combating phishing operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-3C8F02 Favicon MD5: 2d1089128c9f75eb86d11f173c43a865 TLS cert SHA-256: f2413105005874c630eba71cedae8beb51e3b53c17cc47628fdf697912ec05d3 ## 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/zambshipadmin.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=zambshipadmin.org 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.
