## 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

First reported:    2026-06-18 12:38:31 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 20:20:36 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:02:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies americanexpress-ne.com as a high-risk domain that poses a threat to users by attempting to steal sensitive login credentials, specifically targeting American Express customers. 
   
This domain was flagged due to several indicators, including a recent creation date of June 09, 2026, and a registration through Name.com, Inc., which may indicate a lack of legitimacy. Furthermore, 5 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors have flagged this domain, highlighting its potential dangers. 

If a user has visited americanexpress-ne.com, they should immediately monitor their account activity for any suspicious transactions and consider changing their login credentials to prevent potential unauthorized access, as this domain is still active and resolved to IP 168.138.203.248, with a page title of Account Services, and an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / YE1, which may give a false sense of security.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-F56EC4
TLS cert SHA-256:      9bb4b6b02f2a3bdea8b57ea56c063d95bebb52f999e7bca6c13e6aa8e3305c59

## 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.
