## 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: 2025-05-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-23 00:19:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-22 23:02:26 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-23 06:17:55 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-23 09:51:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This report analyzes the domain academise.org. The site displayed a generic "Default Web Site Page" title, indicating it was not configured with specific content or is under development. The threat posed is likely as a placeholder for future malicious activity, such as phishing or malware distribution, given its recent creation and high risk score.

Technical evidence shows the domain is flagged by 16 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, and CRDF. It is listed on 1 blocklist. The domain was created on 2025-05-12, registered via NAMECHEAP INC, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with identifier YE1. Nameservers are raphaela.ns.cloudflare.com and tanner.ns.cloudflare.com.

Currently, the site is DOWN/OFFLINE. The DOM risk score is 73, indicating a high threat level. The combination of recent registration, high detection rate, and inactive status suggests this domain was prepared for malicious use but is currently not operational.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-95A650
TLS cert SHA-256:      0df53265e9318a82e53586e5b2f9febd078a7f70c42aea1c5e0b39ce93fe2781

## 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.
