## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-15 14:30:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 04:20:33 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:47:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:36:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

cboteqfdw.com has been identified as a generic phishing domain, currently taken offline. This domain was created on June 15, 2026, and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Security analysis reveals that 15 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on at least 3 security blocklists. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). AlienVault OTX has recorded this domain in 2 threat intelligence pulses, indicating it has been associated with broader malicious campaigns.

The site's page title returned a 404 Not Found error, consistent with its offline status. Despite being taken down, the domain's registration details and history suggest it was purpose-built for phishing attacks, likely designed to harvest sensitive information from unsuspecting users. The high risk level and widespread vendor detection underscore the severity of the threat it posed while active.

Users should avoid any interaction with cboteqfdw.com and ensure their devices are protected with updated antivirus software and phishing filters. If you have visited this domain, monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity and consider changing passwords. The domain is now offline, but similar threats may emerge—stay vigilant and verify URLs before entering personal data.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a3f3f19133980d7840c906afa5d88c26e674504167749cc6af6de62cd0530d9d

## 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.
