## 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: 2018-05-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-19 08:43:16 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-03 04:46:47 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-19 12:04:51 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:04:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Claimacademy.org is a phishing domain that has been taken offline. Despite its offline status, it was detected early by PhishDestroy with no VirusTotal detections, highlighting the gap between domain registration and antivirus database updates. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and hosted on an IP associated with Google Ireland Limited in the US.

The domain's page title, 'Claim Academy Homepage - Claim Academy,' suggests an attempt to mimic a legitimate educational institution. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, adds a layer of perceived legitimacy, which is common in phishing operations to deceive users. With a platform risk score of 48 out of 100, the domain posed a moderate threat level before being taken down.

PhishDestroy's early detection of claimacademy.org, despite its absence from VirusTotal's feeds, underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence. By identifying the domain within the pre-propagation window, PhishDestroy effectively mitigated potential risks associated with this phishing operation. The domain's entry on a public blocklist further emphasizes its malicious intent.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260619-18F306
Favicon MD5:       20fa26fd1ece2d55899cf09f5086342d
TLS cert SHA-256:      e0a174b6ff2ad39d8bcff03ad84ec5ad18643f0d5aeea48ad64cea8216e503fd

## 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 (operator 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.
