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 00:16:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies firstworld-creditunion.online as an active phishing domain posing as a legitimate credit union website. This site attempts to deceive users by presenting a familiar-looking interface titled "Home - First World Credit Union," aiming to trick visitors into divulging sensitive personal and financial information. Although the overall risk level is assessed as low, the domain remains live and capable of capturing unsuspecting users' data.

This phishing campaign operates by exploiting trust in financial institutions. When users visit firstworld-creditunion.online, they may be prompted to enter login credentials, social security numbers, or banking details under the guise of account verification or security updates. The domain was registered recently and is currently flagged on one security blocklist, with a minor detection rate on VirusTotal, indicating some recognition among security tools but still posing a threat to less protected users.

If you have visited firstworld-creditunion.online, it is crucial to avoid submitting any personal or financial information. Users who have entered sensitive data should immediately change passwords on legitimate financial accounts and monitor statements for unauthorized transactions. Reporting the site to your security provider and using updated antivirus software can help mitigate potential harm. Always verify URLs carefully and access financial services through official channels to stay safe.

## 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.
