## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2001-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-14 13:00:11 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 08:20:33 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-21 03:52:07 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-14 14:40:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

billing.danieltaylor.net phishing campaign detected

The domain billing.danieltaylor.net is currently listed as an active generic phishing infrastructure under investigation. It was registered on April 04, 2001 through Key-Systems GmbH and is hosted on IP address 101.0.116.2. The authoritative name servers are ns1.auserver.com.au and ns2.auserver.com.au, indicating reliance on the auserver.com.au hosting platform. No public malware detections have been reported for this domain, but the absence of detections does not constitute evidence of safety. The available intelligence does not include a sample of the phishing content, page title, or targeted brand, leaving the exact lure and victim profile unclear. Defenders should treat the domain as malicious until further analysis clarifies its purpose. Recommended actions include adding the domain to blocklists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP and name servers, and, where feasible, capturing any network traffic directed to the host for deeper inspection. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as additional indicators become available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-A21E03
TLS cert SHA-256:      28edd4b3b5c40993810f7f6d25a44e2530e97082344290e139513ca45480cadb

## 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.
