Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Hosting org:     AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc.
Registrar:       MarkMonitor Inc.
Nameservers:     ["ns-1306.awsdns-35.org", "ns-1597.awsdns-07.co.uk", "ns-418.awsdns-52.com", "ns-666.awsdns-19.net"]

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Amazon / Amazon RSA 2048 M01
Expires:    2026-09-09
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: c6c6d5c7f79211bbd598b6eb4302e5657be832e775cee0a829b0dea35eaf4e02
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - cloudfront.net

## 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.

First reported:    2026-06-13 14:27:51 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-17 16:26:52 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 00:43:21 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c6c6d5c7f79211bbd598b6eb4302e5657be832e775cee0a829b0dea35eaf4e02

## 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.
