## 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: 2026-04-15 16:47:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies h5.goldcicada.xin as a live Consumer-Service phishing domain posing under the guise of Customer Support. The site remains active and continues to resolve traffic to 188.114.97.3, a server infrastructure with no prior phishing reputation. With a page titled Customer Service and an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, the domain attempts to appear legitimate, yet remains undetected by VirusTotal’s engines at a current 0/95 scans.

This domain was flagged on September 08, 2025 — the exact registration date recorded by Dominet (HK) Limited as the hosting registrar. Despite its fresh timestamp, the infrastructure shows no signs of blacklisting and registers neutral trust scores across available engines. The combination of a recent domain age, clean VirusTotal reputation, and valid SSL certification makes this phishing vector subtle and potentially effective against casual observers seeking customer assistance.

Safety begins with verification: never click unsolicited links claiming to offer Customer Service support. If contacted via email or message, navigate directly to the official domain through a verified URL or secure search. Use browser extensions that flag known phishing infrastructure and report suspicious domains to platform authorities. Awareness and direct validation remain the strongest defenses against evolving Customer Support phishing schemes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-82C0CC
Favicon MD5:       60b7a1db48b1029e2e925136b2e28277
TLS cert SHA-256:      2fec559edf65faa19ecedf23de9d12e72f590ec7acc2484c08672af894f391df

## 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.
