## 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 00:50:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fogolend.com as a low-risk generic phishing domain impersonating a lending service branded as "Fogolend | Borrow and Lend on Fogo." Although its threat level is low, phishing domains like this pose risks by attempting to deceive users into providing sensitive information, including financial and login credentials.

The domain fogolend.com was registered on February 21, 2026, via NameCheap, Inc. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.150.64 and has been flagged on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors mark this domain as suspicious, while the Gridinsoft trust score rates it at 0/100, indicating very low overall trust. Importantly, the domain is currently offline, which reduces the immediate threat.

Users are advised to avoid visiting fogolend.com, especially when prompted to enter personal or financial information. If you encounter communications directing you to this domain, refrain from interacting and delete the messages. Always verify the legitimacy of lending platforms through official channels before sharing sensitive data. Staying vigilant against suspicious links and domains like fogolend.com helps maintain personal cybersecurity and prevent potential fraud.

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

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c77526fcf8d258b9ab803b1f51c5c42e
TLS cert SHA-256:      1a1518fbd874582d98cd85d2a5aa70dcbc422797fddbca422f186f6e6e750f28

## 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.
