## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.206.63
Registrar:       Spaceship, Inc.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1

Fingerprint: 5120d7fbd3b8d656c0b422a4ff36515847de3bf0771edc9942b5843e25956578

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 12:23:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified 7ziphelp.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain currently active. This domain impersonates the legitimate 7-Zip file archiver software brand to deceive users into downloading malware or revealing credentials. The domain is registered through Spaceship, Inc. and resolves to IP address 172.67.206.63.

Technical analysis reveals that 7ziphelp.com is flagged by 3 of 95 antivirus engines on VirusTotal, indicating malicious activity. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which is common for Cloudflare-protected sites, but does not guarantee legitimacy. The domain was registered relatively recently, a common tactic for phishing campaigns. No blocklist count is provided, but the low VirusTotal detection rate suggests it may evade some security tools.

The domain remains active, posing an ongoing threat. Users should never download software or enter credentials on this site. Verify any 7-Zip download at the official source (7-zip.org). If you have interacted with this domain, run a full antivirus scan and monitor for unauthorized activity. Report the domain to your email provider or security team. PhishDestroy advises blocking this domain at the network level.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260609-D95012
Favicon MD5:       fed6712f7728ec9d8354331d5af2d8e9
TLS cert SHA-256:      5120d7fbd3b8d656c0b422a4ff36515847de3bf0771edc9942b5843e25956578

## 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.
