## 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: 2026-07-02 15:01:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain colndesk.com has been identified as a high-risk generic phishing threat. It appears to impersonate a crypto giveaway campaign, featuring the title "The Largest Crypto Giveaway in History." There is no indication of a specific brand being impersonated, but the context suggests a potential attempt to lure users into providing sensitive information or engaging in fraudulent activities.

Technical indicators for colndesk.com include a VirusTotal detection score of 2/95, indicating a low level of recognition by security vendors. The domain is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on July 01, 2026, which raises concerns regarding its legitimacy, as it is relatively new. There are currently no entries in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status or other significant blocklists.

As of now, colndesk.com remains active and continues to pose a potential risk to users. It is recommended that users exercise caution and refrain from interacting with this domain. Monitoring of the domain's status should be conducted regularly to assess any changes in threat level or infrastructure. Immediate response actions may include blocking the IP address and reporting the domain to relevant authorities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260702-01ECE9
Favicon MD5:       11f931e779a658adf2c51d4845c25661
TLS cert SHA-256:      ae3199fdcb9a926c923bb2abc7bdd04e23511059d911d5807ef52921b9fbf6de

## 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.
