## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------

PhishDestroy has identified 02-billing.link as a high-risk phishing domain. Classified under generic phishing threats, this domain aims to deceive users by mimicking legitimate billing or payment services to harvest sensitive information.

Technical analysis reveals that 02-billing.link was registered recently on September 12, 2025, through GMO Internet, Inc. The domain resolves to IP address 199.59.243.228 and has been detected in 18 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendor scans. It also appears on two separate security blocklists and is associated with 17 distinct threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. Gridinsoft rates its trust score at 0 out of 100, indicating extremely low credibility.

Currently, 02-billing.link is offline, reflecting active mitigation efforts to contain its malicious activities. Users are advised to avoid visiting this domain and to remain vigilant against any phishing attempts linked to it. Continuous monitoring by cybersecurity communities ensures prompt action against similar threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       5a0687ea8c9aa404a7724490f046e30023ec6b5aa81d01ae4f225889a64174f6
TLS cert SHA-256:      49f5b06e293be00175557c07ef4e4bdfd9cbdece82a1d48eade23a12b52abb53

## 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.
