ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-07-13 00:44:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates that the domain falcon.flnance.network is actively hosting a crypto‑scam site. The site resolves to 104.21.17.87, a Cloudflare edge node (AS13335) located in the United States. Registration data shows the domain was created on 21 Feb 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and it uses an SSL certificate identified as WE1. HTTP requests return status 200 and the page title is “Claims | Falcon Finance”, matching the listed scam type. The domain is listed on two security blocklists, currently blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and receives a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. VirusTotal scans report 7 of 93 vendors flagging the domain. Nameservers are set to ns1.verification‑hold.suspended‑domain.com and ns2.verification‑hold.suspended‑..., indicating a hold or suspension pattern often associated with malicious infrastructure. The evidence confirms a high‑risk, active crypto‑scam operation, but the exact payload or victim‑interaction flow has not been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block the domain at perimeter and DNS layers, monitor outbound traffic for connections to 104.21.17.87, and add indicators to threat‑intel feeds. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case the infrastructure changes or additional detection data becomes available.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
