## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:22:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-24 01:41:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:11:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies brad-real.net as a medium-risk phishing domain primarily involved in generic phishing activities. The domain poses a potential threat to users by attempting to deceive them through social engineering tactics that could lead to credential theft or other malicious outcomes.

Supporting evidence reveals that brad-real.net was created recently on February 21, 2026, and has been flagged by 9 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, Google Safe Browsing categorizes it under social engineering threats, and it appears on one security blocklist. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.12.95 and is registered through the Regional Network Information Center, JSC dba RU-CENTER. Currently, the domain is offline and returns a "522: Connection timed out" error, which limits its active threat surface.

Users are advised to avoid visiting or interacting with brad-real.net due to its history of phishing activity and social engineering flags. Despite being offline now, it could return or be repurposed, so maintaining good cybersecurity hygiene—such as using updated antivirus software and cautious email practices—is essential. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring blocklists and security feeds for updates related to this domain to stay protected.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      bd295452b56f77955cffe3b980c144f57d20ddebe726e6e50e652cd96c20a80b

## 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.
