## 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.

Last verified:     2026-07-06 18:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 14:25:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain azureus.es is confirmed as an active generic phishing site. It impersonates the legitimate Azureus/Vuze software distribution page under the title Azureus.es - Descargar Vuze / Azereus para PC y Mac. The site remains fully operational with no observed takedown actions.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain flagged by 4 of 95 VirusTotal vendors and listed on exactly 5 security blocklists: StevenBlack, BLP-Malware, OISD, BLP-Abuse, and Hagezi. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to IP address 35.214.148.249. No creation date or registrar details are available in current telemetry, yet the combination of detections and blocklist presence indicates coordinated malicious deployment.

Current status shows the domain continues serving content without interruption. Recommended actions include immediate DNS sinkholing of azureus.es, firewall blocking of 35.214.148.249, and user advisories to avoid any download prompts or credential fields hosted on this infrastructure. Monitoring for related domains sharing the same IP or certificate is advised to limit exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1f496e858416c280a670a726d9cfba21
TLS cert SHA-256:      e73d67edd4abd29e673f861238f3d071c8a60381dbaa5978e190570da4844de3

## 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 (operator 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.
