## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Netcraft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      198.251.83.106 (US, Cheyenne)
Hosting org:     AS53667 FranTech Solutions
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Nameservers:     ns25.asurahosting.com, ns25.my-control-panel.com, ns26.asurahosting.com, ns26.my-control-panel.com

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-06-22 22:58:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain burnicu.icu is currently active and has been flagged as malicious by 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. It is listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Registered with HOSTINGER operations, UAB, the domain is hosted on IP address 198.251.83.106 in the United States, under the organization FranTech Solutions. Notably, the domain does not have an SSL certificate, which is often a red flag for phishing sites.

Despite the low detection rate on VirusTotal, the presence of burnicu.icu on multiple blocklists indicates its involvement in phishing activities. The domain was created on June 19, 2026, and PhishDestroy detected it just three days later on June 22, 2026. This quick detection highlights the efficiency of PhishDestroy's monitoring systems in identifying threats before they become widely recognized by antivirus vendors.

The absence of an SSL certificate suggests that burnicu.icu may be attempting to target users by mimicking legitimate websites without the security features that users expect. This lack of encryption can make it easier for attackers to intercept data or deceive users into providing sensitive information. The domain's association with FranTech Solutions, a hosting provider known for its lenient policies, may also contribute to its malicious use.

PhishDestroy's early detection of burnicu.icu underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence. By identifying and blocklisting such domains swiftly, organizations can better protect themselves and their users from potential phishing attacks. The domain's rapid inclusion on multiple blocklists further emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring and updating of security measures.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-5FF184

## 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.
