----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam
Phishing kit: Airdrop Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      158.94.208.165 (DE, Frankfurt am Main)
ASN:             ASAS202412 Omegatech LTD
Hosting org:     AS202412 Omegatech LTD
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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 03:16:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy categorizes fric.network as a medium-risk phishing domain. While not posing an immediate high-level threat, its history and indicators warrant caution among internet users and organizations.

This domain was registered on December 5, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC and resolves to the IP address 158.94.208.165. It has appeared on three separate security blocklists and was flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting suspicious activity. The domain is currently taken offline, reducing the immediate risk, but its past presence on blocklists indicates malicious intent typical of generic phishing campaigns.

To mitigate potential threats from fric.network, users should avoid any unsolicited communications referencing this domain, and organizations are advised to block traffic to its known IP address. Maintaining updated security solutions and monitoring blocklists for its possible re-emergence can help prevent phishing incidents related to this domain.

## 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.
