## 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: 2026-03-03 02:55:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ff-exchange.digital as a high-risk phishing domain primarily targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was designed to lure victims with promises of cryptocurrency exchanges without registration, posing significant financial threats.

The domain was registered recently and taken offline but has a history of malicious activity. It resolves to IP 198.18.2.42 and was registered through Porkbun LLC. Intelligence from AlienVault OTX and VirusTotal reveals multiple detections, while Google Safe Browsing classifies it under social engineering. Additionally, it appears on several security blocklists, corroborating its phishing nature.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any related links. Employ updated endpoint protection, enable browser phishing filters, and verify URLs before providing sensitive information. Reporting suspicious domains to security platforms helps enhance collective defense against evolving phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       293d3bf5df1d11654d879b5f7daeb2b4be4a75c9c8125a67e195535370674f03

## 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.
