## 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 16:33:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies grantbusiness.online as a low-risk but active phishing domain targeting unsuspecting users. The domain is designed to impersonate legitimate business grant portals to deceive victims into divulging sensitive information. While the current threat level is considered low, caution is advised as phishing tactics may evolve.

The domain grantbusiness.online was registered recently on February 21, 2026, indicating a relatively new infrastructure used for malicious purposes. VirusTotal analysis shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain, and it appears on one security blocklist. These indicators suggest limited current distribution but potential for broader abuse.

PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any communication with grantbusiness.online and related emails. Users should verify grant information requests through official channels and report suspicious activity to cybersecurity authorities. Continued monitoring will track any escalation in phishing attempts associated with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       def00c11b1596db4efee6a9fbe64fc27
TLS cert SHA-256:      80318e1978a71b0294d027cbcbd58e00c615906d118cc51c050bee95773681a3

## 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.
