## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.255.122.94 (UA, Kyiv)
ASN:             AS30860 Virtual Systems LLC
Hosting org:     BeeHosted - Internet Services & Hosting Provider

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     DigiCert Inc / RapidSSL TLS RSA CA G1
Expires:    2026-11-02
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 7fc39e98f94ab09676caf8a936952bdee35ec50c61b5258d23f94b375bb4cc13
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.ghostgunsaustralia.com

## 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: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-26 16:15:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-26 13:18:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-23 09:17:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:34:52 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-26 16:17:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies the domain ghostgunsaustralia.com as hosting a ghost gun sales scam, currently under active investigation for fraudulent activity related to unauthorized firearms trafficking. The site falsely markets untraceable firearm kits, likely targeting Australian consumers seeking restricted weaponry through illicit channels. Domain reputation analysis reveals no immediate blocklist presence, but behavioral indicators suggest a high-risk scam operation designed to harvest payment details under false pretenses.  This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors and resolves to IP 185.255.122.94. Registered through Gransy, s.r.o. on April 18, 2026, the domain uses a DigiCert Inc SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Historical DNS records show no prior associations with known malicious infrastructure, yet its recent creation and thematic content align with emerging ghost gun scam networks exploiting firearm regulation gaps. Trust scores remain neutral pending deeper behavioral analysis.  Given the active status and lack of prior detections, PhishDestroy recommends immediate network-level blocking of 185.255.122.94 and domain quarantine. Organizations should flag ghostgunsaustralia.com in proxy filters and SIEM rules using IOCs: domain creation date (2026-04-18), registrar (Gransy, s.r.o.), and IP (185.255.122.94). Consumers should avoid transactions and report suspicious firearm sales to cybercrime units. Further intelligence will be updated as investigation progresses.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260426-308126
Favicon MD5:       d9b5b638d8357fa3100d3f8d2e925a18
TLS cert SHA-256:      7fc39e98f94ab09676caf8a936952bdee35ec50c61b5258d23f94b375bb4cc13

## 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.
