## 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: 2026-03-03 02:31:40 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 accesstruistcu.com as a malicious domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting generic banking customers. The website mimics legitimate financial service pages, including mobile banking and loan offerings, to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. This phishing attempt poses a significant threat due to its convincing presentation and high-risk nature.

The domain was registered on October 3, 2025, through DYNADOT LLC and resolves to the IP address 198.23.193.170. It has been flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one known security blocklist, indicating recognized malicious activity. Currently, the domain is offline, but its previous activity underscores the need for ongoing vigilance.

Users are advised to avoid accessing accesstruistcu.com or any suspicious links purporting to offer banking services under similar names. Always verify domain authenticity directly through official banking sites or customer service channels. Report any phishing attempts immediately to your institution and relevant cybersecurity authorities to minimize exposure to credential theft or fraud.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       78678f87731e95b03b8aa54ae93c5e7ac9069be4d843fc919619b1d49773a230

## 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.
