## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:00:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

cameroonshipregistry.org masquerades as a legitimate maritime registry, but it's a scam site. Detected by PhishDestroy on June 21, 2026, it has 3 out of 91 vendors flagging it as malicious on VirusTotal. Despite its offline status now, the domain was hosted on IP 217.76.51.133 in France, under the organization Contabo GmbH.

The domain was registered with Squarespace Domains LLC and issued an SSL certificate by Let's Encrypt, suggesting an attempt to appear secure and trustworthy. The site was active for several months before being taken down, indicating a potentially significant window for exploitation.

PhishDestroy's detection highlights the importance of upstream threat intelligence, capturing this domain before widespread antivirus database updates. Its presence on a public blocklist underscores its risk level, even though it no longer poses a direct threat due to its offline status. This case exemplifies the ongoing need for vigilance in monitoring and addressing phishing threats, especially those involving industry-specific scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260621-687534
Favicon MD5:       cfe53f2bf2e60a1bf4b174e2a171f2b1
TLS cert SHA-256:      059149d4221e15ff3b83d4ca783f8b2ac538dd189a8dd85c41faa3acb6dcf813

## 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.
