## 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: 2024-09-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-01 00:29:04 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-17 14:16:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-01 02:20:13 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:24:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, bostonpower.ng, is actively impersonating Adobe as part of a high-risk phishing campaign. Registered on September 8, 2024, through QServers.ng, the domain resolves to the IP address 45.43.14.156. Analysis of the page title, 'Adobe Acrobat Sign - Secure Document Access,' confirms the intent to deceive users into believing they are accessing legitimate Adobe services. As of July 12, 2026, the domain remains operational and has been flagged by 13 of 95 security vendors in a recent scan. It also appears on at least one security blocklist and has been identified in four threat intelligence pulses within the AlienVault OTX platform.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Apache HTTP Server technology, though no additional details about the phishing kit or backend systems are currently available. The domain's registration age and active status suggest a deliberate effort to maintain persistence for malicious activity. Defenders are advised to block traffic to 45.43.14.156 and monitor for further indicators associated with this campaign. Given the domain's continued activity and detection by multiple security vendors, organizations should prioritize awareness and technical controls to mitigate risks associated with this brand impersonation attempt. The exact content and functionality of the phishing page remain unanalyzed, but the presence of the Adobe Acrobat Sign branding in the page title aligns with known tactics used to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260701-747D8D
Favicon MD5:       bd8f64043432f6f433bc8732068ad7e1
TLS cert SHA-256:      b4e59ff0485b5901fd3da3a599fd414f432e46e0ab857afdb921b02648e78890

## 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.
