## 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: 2026-03-19 05:51:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies atlanticnb.online as a low-risk phishing domain impersonating a financial institution under the guise of "Atlantic National Bank." The domain was classified as generic phishing due to its intent to deceive users by mimicking a legitimate banking service to potentially harvest sensitive data.

Technical analysis reveals that atlanticnb.online was registered recently on August 2, 2025, via Dynadot LLC and resolved to IP 198.12.80.250. The domain’s reputation is severely undermined by a Scamadviser trust score of 1 out of 100 and presence on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flagged the domain with 2 detections out of 95 security vendors, suggesting a limited but credible threat footprint. The webpage title "Atlantic National Bank - Dedicated to innovating, simplifying, and humanizing digital banking." further supports the phishing scheme targeting users seeking online banking services.

Currently, atlanticnb.online is offline, indicating possible takedown or suspension in response to abuse reports. Despite the low-risk rating, PhishDestroy advises users to exercise caution and avoid engaging with sites resembling this domain. Continuous monitoring and prompt reporting of suspicious domains remain essential to mitigate phishing threats in the evolving digital landscape.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       53f7eaccc5cabff8999753b23d2e2aab91a4fa445707494f4ce0d0af103fa211

## 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.
