## 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: 2026-03-24 00:36:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies avtocredit.info as a generic phishing domain with a low risk level. The domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and serves as a potential vehicle for credential harvesting or fraudulent activity. The page title currently returns "Account Suspended," indicating the site is no longer active but was previously flagged for phishing behavior.

Technical investigation reveals that avtocredit.info resolves to the IP address 198.54.116.44 and is registered through NameCheap, Inc. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting very low reputation and trustworthiness. VirusTotal analysis shows that 1 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, confirming minimal but notable suspicion. These indicators align with typical phishing infrastructure that is often short-lived and quickly taken down.

Currently, avtocredit.info is offline and inaccessible, reducing immediate risk to users. The suspension status suggests responsive action was taken, likely by hosting providers or registrars to mitigate malicious use. Users are advised to avoid attempting to visit this domain and maintain vigilance for any related phishing attempts, ensuring that login credentials and personal information remain uncompromised.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b2e87d90d3962b349e4806f599ff81b072f3e0141603ae866b417d347363b58f

## 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.
