## 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: 2026-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-11 12:36:56 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-05-17 08:38:59 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-15 01:34:36 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-11 15:37:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies golddelivery.now as an active delivery scam posing as a courier service. This domain exploits user trust in delivery notifications to harvest credentials and financial details under false pretenses. The threat is direct: users expecting legitimate parcel updates are redirected to fraudulent surveys or payment forms designed to extract sensitive information. The risk is elevated due to the domain's recent registration and lack of historical scrutiny, making it highly deceptive to unsuspecting recipients.  This domain was flagged during routine domain safety surveillance. Key technical indicators include resolution to IP address 185.111.111.158, registration through Porkbun LLC, and a domain creation date of May 10, 2026. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted. While the SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt may initially suggest legitimacy, this is a common tactic used by fraudulent sites to appear credible. The domain remains unlisted on major blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish at this time, increasing exposure to potential victims.  Mitigation requires immediate user caution and organizational blocking. Users should avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or messages referencing golddelivery.now. Organizations should add the domain and its IP (185.111.111.158) to network blocklists and email filtering rules. If interaction occurs, users must not enter personal, financial, or login credentials. Report any fraudulent activity to the domain registrar (Porkbun LLC) and local cybercrime units. Enhanced monitoring of newly registered delivery-related domains is recommended to prevent further exploitation. Given the domain's age and current detection status, the threat remains under active evolution and requires vigilant tracking.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260511-82E49B
Favicon MD5:       b7823e5e65d33cef3311bd59f0edf3aa
TLS cert SHA-256:      45d37559eec25ab66302ebb681c95609059efe821dcff79ee97c584c846a2b2c

## 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.
