## 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: 2026-06-18 16:36:37 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.tcpcreditgem.com as a site posing a significant threat to users, attempting to trick them into divulging sensitive information by impersonating a legitimate credit service. This domain was flagged due to its appearance on 3 security blocklists and its creation date of June 15, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, with 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious. 

 The domain h5.tcpcreditgem.com, which resolves to IP 161.248.14.134 and has a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, was taken offline, but not before it could potentially cause harm. 

 If a user visited this site, they should immediately check their account activity and monitor their credit report for any suspicious transactions, as this site was likely designed to steal sensitive financial information, and they should report any incidents to their bank or credit card company, taking necessary steps to secure their accounts and protect their identity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-6326C4
Favicon MD5:       c6ae061aa516329b0536da6ca86c0b9b
TLS cert SHA-256:      59184d913c0f4115f75e0cdd976ff6f7be9ed8a617ce31b81ff2011bc5c7650b

## 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.
