## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-07 21:39:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain grannygames.net is identified as a phishing threat, leveraging its fresh registration to evade detection. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, this domain is hosted on IP 104.21.89.122. As of now, it has zero detections on VirusTotal, showcasing its recent emergence in the threat landscape.

PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline has flagged grannygames.net before it appears in antivirus databases, highlighting the critical 24-72 hour window where new domains can operate undetected. This period allows threat actors to exploit the lag in security updates, making early identification crucial for mitigation.

The absence of VirusTotal detections should not be misconstrued as safety. Instead, it underscores the domain's novelty and potential for malicious activity. By identifying grannygames.net at this stage, PhishDestroy provides a proactive defense against its phishing operations. Monitoring such domains is essential to protect users from emerging threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-7FBE53
Favicon MD5:       187549e3c2c4c8b165bdbff28ae1de4a
TLS cert SHA-256:      ae6302ad13a8cbb984d3be7724135f4c96c39f31ac191542caa30249306103e4

## 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 (operator 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.
