## 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

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 10:06:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, driftzone.io, poses a significant threat as a generic phishing site. The page title, 'Anabolika Shop - Steroide kaufen,' suggests that it may be masquerading as a legitimate online store, which can trick users into providing sensitive information such as login credentials, financial details, or personal data.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that driftzone.io was created on April 11, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.132.181. The domain has been flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of suspicion among the security community. It has also been included in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, suggesting that it has been associated with known malicious activities. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may give users a false sense of security. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating a high level of risk. The site is currently blocked by PhishDestroy, further confirming its status as a phishing threat.

If users have visited driftzone.io, they should take immediate steps to secure their personal information. This includes changing passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised, monitoring bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized transactions, and running a full system scan for malware. Users should also report the incident to their email provider, financial institutions, and any relevant authorities to mitigate potential damage. Staying informed about the latest security threats and using reputable security tools can help prevent future encounters with such domains.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2c3b37c4c9ecf04907d9f9f88e229150
TLS cert SHA-256:      ba1dadecbc24734403cfb21f57a188a2f591dbe177e91f542cc0d39b38392243

## 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.
