## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is
waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-24 16:42:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-24 13:43:30 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-30 18:06:37 UTC
Current status:    ACTIVE / observable

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-24 16:43:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies farcester.xyz as an active phishing domain with an elevated risk level, specifically targeting users with deceptive login pages to harvest credentials.

This domain was flagged by ScamSniffer and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged it suspicious. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.195.70 and was registered on April 11, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but this does not guarantee safety.

To mitigate this threat, avoid clicking links from untrusted emails or messages claiming to be from Farcester.xyz. Verify URLs manually by typing them into your browser. Use browser extensions like ScamSniffer or uBlock Origin to block known malicious domains. Report any interaction with this domain to your cybersecurity team and local authorities if sensitive information was entered.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260424-04A2BB
Favicon MD5:       c9969290d93dced25e7a0f6fadf98911
TLS cert SHA-256:      fd97c25c25db6f37692c127061865d67a5947955299d96c366ecc809590e641c

## 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.
