## 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

cognacboutinet.com — Generic Phishing Investigation Report

This domain is identified as a generic phishing site, posing a significant risk to users who may visit it. The site was designed to trick users into providing sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data, which could be used for malicious purposes.

Analysis indicates that cognacboutinet.com was created on April 07, 2026, and is registered through GateKeeperDomains.net LLC. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.39.88, which is located in California and is managed by Cloudflare, Inc. According to VirusTotal, 10 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The domain was taken offline as of the latest update, suggesting that it may have been part of an active phishing campaign that has since been disrupted.

If a user has visited cognacboutinet.com, it is recommended to immediately change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised. The user should also run a comprehensive security scan on their device to detect any potential malware. Additionally, the user should monitor their financial statements and credit reports for any unauthorized activity and consider contacting their bank or credit card issuer if they suspect any fraudulent transactions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e091b95ad2c818efc73f3d9941bc421d2a90c00c80fffe3fc0261b9cc29854fb

## 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.
