## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Last verified:     2026-07-07 00:25:13 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 22:45:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain adidas-hiring.com has been identified in connection with brand impersonation activities directed at the Adidas organization. The page title Adidas Careers suggests an attempt to replicate legitimate hiring portals. Such setups typically aim at credential theft by collecting login details or personal data from unsuspecting users seeking employment opportunities. Infrastructure analysis reveals no evidence of crypto drainer kits but points clearly to phishing infrastructure designed for data harvesting.

Technical indicators include a VirusTotal detection count of 10 out of 95 security vendors. The domain is registered through Name.com, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 35.157.26.135. Its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt. The registration date is recorded as May 31, 2026, and the domain maintains an active status with threat classification as generic_phishing focused on credential collection.

The current status remains active according to monitoring data. Recommended response actions involve blocking access to the IP 35.157.26.135 and reporting the domain to relevant authorities for takedown. Remaining risk is high due to its ongoing operation and potential to capture sensitive employment-related information from targeted individuals.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0410cc43f9048bc63c44ed3477b3646c
TLS cert SHA-256:      2c75708026e2b786a4a6a4b30a3b8371f325a1fbb9a4828a60828b3873c89cae

## 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.
