## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-18 13:04:23 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:11:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies distribution-48.com as an active phishing domain posing a medium risk to internet users. Phishing scams are designed to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, and personal details by pretending to be a trustworthy source. Since distribution-48.com remains active and appears on multiple security blocklists, users should treat it with caution to avoid potential data theft or financial loss.

This particular phishing site operates by mimicking legitimate services or communications to deceive visitors. Attackers behind distribution-48.com may use fraudulent emails, fake login pages, or misleading content to lure users into submitting their credentials or other confidential information. The domain was created recently, which is common for phishing campaigns that frequently rotate domains to evade detection by security systems.

If a user has visited distribution-48.com, they should immediately refrain from entering any personal or financial information. It is advisable to run a comprehensive antivirus scan and monitor account statements for any unauthorized activity. Changing passwords for affected online accounts and enabling multi-factor authentication can further protect against potential damage. Reporting the phishing attempt to relevant authorities or security platforms can also help mitigate broader risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e202f67314e0918f7c027b8394b32eb5e5ef317749769172d6315cc40c68cc94

## 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.
