## 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: 2026-05-12 01:58:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies echelonfinances.com as a credential theft domain posing as a financial service to steal user login details. The site mimics legitimate financial platforms to trick visitors into submitting sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, or financial data. If accessed, the domain may harvest entered credentials or redirect users to malicious payloads without their knowledge.  This domain was flagged due to its recent registration date (January 08, 2026), hosting on a newly observed IP address (198.251.84.200), and use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scans, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious but should still be treated with caution. The domain is registered through Dynadot Inc., a domain registrar known for hosting both legitimate and fraudulent sites.  If you visited echelonfinances.com, do not enter any personal or financial information. Immediately change passwords for any accounts where you may have reused credentials, and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software, as credential theft sites often deploy keyloggers or other malicious tools. Report the domain to your browser’s security team or to organizations like PhishDestroy to help prevent others from falling victim to this scam.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260511-434032

## 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.
