## 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: 2026-06-18 17:11:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies app.nears.cloud as a domain that poses a significant generic phishing threat, where attackers may attempt to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. 

 This domain was flagged due to several indicators, including being registered through Dynadot, LLC and having an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E7, it was created on April 29, 2026, and is currently flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, it also appears on 1 security blocklist, highlighting the potential dangers it poses to users. 

 Users who may have visited app.nears.cloud should be cautious, as they may have been exposed to phishing attempts, it is essential for them to monitor their accounts and report any suspicious activity, given that the domain is currently offline, it is a critical reminder to be vigilant when interacting with online platforms, especially those that have been flagged by multiple security vendors, such as the 3 out of 95 on VirusTotal.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a
TLS cert SHA-256:      6e9554c94820eb2957be8b06fcd707d891b5a12d102e38c3ee0b87b0a5d3ad9f

## 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.
