## 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: 2026-06-13 12:21:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fq-binance.com as a high-risk domain due to brand impersonation, specifically targeting Binance users. 

The domain fq-binance.com has been flagged by 20 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant threat. Additionally, it is registered through Spaceship, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 98.143.159.230. The domain is currently active and has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E8. 

To mitigate the brand impersonation threat, users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with fq-binance.com, verifying the authenticity of the website and its content. It is essential to be aware of the potential risks and take necessary precautions to protect sensitive information, such as using two-factor authentication and keeping software up to date. By being vigilant and taking proactive steps, users can reduce the risk of falling victim to brand impersonation attacks and protect their digital assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260609-7FF6B7
Favicon MD5:       435ac14f6997b01a5bff4dfa5612451e
TLS cert SHA-256:      7d023d91b58631921e8fdbad9fcd710da60e9b6b19e3d47f3e81c0f965a3af38

## 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.
