## 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: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-04 14:16:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-07-04 12:24:00 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-07 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-04 14:55:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, 17901.xyz, operates as a credential-harvesting phishing site targeting users through fake Microsoft login portals. Victims are lured into entering account credentials, which are then captured and transmitted to threat actors. The site may also deploy secondary payloads, such as browser-based crypto drainers or malware, under the guise of authentication errors or security updates. The threat extends beyond immediate credential theft, as compromised accounts can be leveraged for further attacks, including business email compromise (BEC) or unauthorized access to cloud services.  Analysis indicates this domain was registered on June 28, 2026, through GMO Internet, Inc., a registrar frequently abused for phishing operations. It resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164 and is flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detections including generic phishing and brand impersonation. The infrastructure employs Cloudflare for traffic obfuscation, Nginx as a web server, and Vue.js for dynamic content rendering. Additional technical indicators include the use of Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, HTTP/3 protocol support, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers, which are often exploited to lend false legitimacy to malicious sites.  If you or a user on your network visited 17901.xyz and entered credentials, take immediate action. First, revoke access to the affected account by resetting passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) where available. Review the account for unauthorized activity, including sent emails, file modifications, or login attempts from unfamiliar locations. Check connected devices for signs of malware, particularly browser extensions or scripts that may have been installed during the session. If financial or cryptocurrency data was entered, monitor linked accounts for unauthorized transactions and report suspicious activity to the relevant platform. Network administrators should block the domain and its resolving IP (103.27.177.164) at the firewall or DNS level to prevent further exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260704-9772EA
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      1355dba1d894febf0e19d3d3041d1ba06d08a5f0c53480d20547e774f8cda776

## 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.
