## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:33:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The risk level associated with 87405.com is high due to its generic phishing nature, which can lead to significant financial losses. 
   
This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy, and upon investigation, it was found that 87405.com resolves to IP 45.33.96.60, has a ZeroSSL GmbH SSL certificate, and was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on February 13, 2008. Notably, 87405.com appears on 3 security blocklists and has 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating a potential for undetected malicious activity.

To mitigate the risks associated with generic phishing threats like 87405.com, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with the website, ensuring they are on the legitimate Writing.Com site and not the impersonated version. Verifying the site's authenticity on PhishDestroy and being aware of the indicators such as the domain's creation date, registrar, and IP address can help prevent potential losses, especially considering the site's history and current status as an active threat.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-F49AEC
Favicon MD5:       253e8026296351f169b0ef789b0555fa
TLS cert SHA-256:      969e79eba34e706ca83972f6a974b62fa5b4fac5f7123119ebc0bedfccac09c5

## 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.
