## 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: 2026-03-25 20:02:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cashback-punp.fun as a brand impersonation domain targeting users of Pump.fun by falsely advertising cashback offers, specifically promising 30% returns on rug pull losses. Although classified as low risk and currently offline, such impersonation attempts can mislead users into divulging sensitive information or falling victim to scams, compromising their financial security.

This domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on March 24, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 before being taken offline. According to VirusTotal, only 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, indicating limited but notable suspicion around its activities. The page title "Pump.fun Cashback | Get 30% Back on Rug Pull Losses" directly mimics the legitimate brand to deceive visitors.

Users are advised to remain vigilant when interacting with cashback or promotional websites, especially those with unfamiliar domain names or slight misspellings. It is recommended to access Pump.fun services only through verified official channels and avoid clicking on unsolicited links promising unusual cashback benefits. Reporting suspicious domains like cashback-punp.fun to cybersecurity platforms helps protect the wider community from potential scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260324-A90C29
Favicon MD5:       3b95f264ba9ca3874a7cd5528ce97142
TLS cert SHA-256:      c72df9b51998ac48fa15d602ea8f6a00787013f8c295148b2941c078764e9371

## 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.
