## 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: 2026-06-22 23:05:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

app.pacilfica.fi masquerades as a Forex trading platform, specifically targeting USDJPY traders. The site is now offline, but it was flagged as malicious by one out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it was recognized as a threat. PhishDestroy's detection on 2026-06-19 places it ahead of most antivirus databases, capturing the threat early.

The domain was registered with Immaterialism Ltd and hosted on an IP managed by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its accessibility and cost-effectiveness. The platform risk score of 56/100 suggests a moderate threat level, consistent with its phishing nature.

Despite its takedown, app.pacilfica.fi serves as a reminder of the sophisticated tactics used in Forex trading scams. These scams often exploit the allure of quick financial gains, preying on individuals looking to invest in currency trading. The presence of the domain on a public blocklist underscores its malicious intent and the importance of early detection in mitigating potential harm to users. The case of app.pacilfica.fi highlights the need for continuous monitoring and rapid response to emerging threats in the digital landscape.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2889e79dc9afec3ee64997e9ce4f671b
TLS cert SHA-256:      fe5dab76ac392e9e226a09802eb079096bdf50032abec4821adf85d24c56cb17

## 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.
