## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      16/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE
AlienVault OTX:  9 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Registered:      2026-05-22
Expires:         2027-05-22

## 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 11:41:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies golinked.net as a high-risk domain that poses a threat to users by impersonating a legitimate brand to steal sensitive information. 

This domain was flagged by 16 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and was registered through CNOBIN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, indicating a potential malicious intent. The exact creation date is not available, but the domain is currently active, making it a significant threat to users who may unknowingly visit it.

If a user visited golinked.net, they should immediately change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication to prevent potential credential theft, and also monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as the domain is still active and poses a high risk to users, with a unique seed of 46addf indicating a varied attack pattern

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-05-22

## 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.
