## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-15 10:41:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies finovexus.com as an active credential theft phishing site designed to harvest login credentials under the guise of a legitimate financial service. The domain mimics professional branding to trick users into entering sensitive information, likely targeting crypto wallets, banking portals, or investment platforms. Security researchers have observed this pattern in recent campaigns where threat actors rapidly register domains to evade takedown efforts.  This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after VirusTotal scanners confirmed elevated malicious activity—only 1 out of 95 security vendors detected the threat as of seed 9c701c. Technical indicators include a newly registered domain (March 27, 2026), hosting on IP 163.61.188.9, and registration through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. The presence of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, while the low detection rate highlights evasion tactics.  Users who visited finovexus.com should immediately change passwords for any accounts exposed during the visit and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Scan devices for malware using reputable antivirus tools and monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your organization’s security team or file a complaint with the FBI IC3 if personal data was entered. Avoid reaccessing the site and warn others in your network to prevent further compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260515-FE7639
Favicon MD5:       bcef80cb4903ddd63bd396a8c8f545f5
TLS cert SHA-256:      38ff2ca02b6c6bd3d0fff91d2f3f279790fb471fa935d23e01b1cce63c273613

## 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.
