## 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: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-04 12:41:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-07-04 10:47:35 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 18:20:16 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-04 12:45:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, 17204.xyz, is actively serving a fake login portal designed to harvest user credentials. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is configured to mimic legitimate authentication pages, likely targeting corporate or financial service users. The domain employs social engineering tactics, such as cloned branding and urgent login prompts, to deceive victims into submitting sensitive information. Given the high-risk classification, this campaign poses a significant threat to both individual and organizational security, with potential for credential theft leading to unauthorized account access or secondary attacks.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 04, 2026, through GMO Internet, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with malicious activity. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.163 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to create a false sense of security. As of the latest assessment, 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged 17204.xyz as malicious, with detection labels including "phishing," "fraudulent site," and "credential harvester." The domain remains active and unblocked by many enterprise security solutions, increasing its potential reach.  Users who have visited 17204.xyz or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action. First, revoke any sessions associated with the compromised account and change passwords using a trusted device. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) if not already active, and monitor the account for suspicious activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions. If corporate credentials were exposed, notify the organization’s security team to initiate an incident response. Additionally, scan the device used to access the site for malware, as phishing pages may deploy secondary payloads. Block the domain and its associated IP (103.27.177.163) at the network level to prevent further exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260704-DED1CA
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71

## 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 (operator 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.
