## 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: 2026-03-24 00:50:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies federaldelivservice.online as a generic phishing domain impersonating a federal delivery service. Classified under low-risk phishing threats, it attempts to deceive users through fraudulent representation with the page title "Federal Delivery Service." The domain was registered recently and shows characteristics typical of phishing campaigns aiming to harvest user credentials or sensitive information.

Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 185.254.196.17 and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. Despite appearing on just one security blocklist and being flagged by only one out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal, the domain’s Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, indicating no trustworthy reputation. These indicators suggest a low but present risk. Its creation date of February 21, 2026, also points to a relatively new and possibly opportunistic phishing attempt.

Currently, federaldelivservice.online is taken offline, mitigating active risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends remaining vigilant about domains with similar naming conventions and advises users to avoid providing any sensitive information on suspicious sites mimicking government or delivery service entities. Continuous monitoring of such domains is essential to prevent user exposure to phishing attacks.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5bced74708dac2d3aec9a42eef7c47db
TLS cert SHA-256:      38380e590af28fe98c9b98380b2642ba0813d902825c43b751e51a137d852607

## 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.
