## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-14 16:40:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:47:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:28:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Helpdeskinfo.click is a phishing domain that has been taken offline, but not before it was flagged by PhishDestroy on the day it was created, June 14, 2026. Despite its short-lived activity, the domain managed to get flagged by 1 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its potential threat. The domain was registered through Global Domain Group LLC and hosted on IP address 172.67.219.97, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services.

The domain's page title, "Just a moment...", suggests it may have been used to impersonate a legitimate service or platform, potentially tricking users into providing sensitive information. The platform risk score of 61 out of 100 reflects a moderate level of threat, which aligns with its swift detection and subsequent takedown. The presence of this domain on a public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, further underscores its malicious intent.

Phishing domains like helpdeskinfo.click exploit the critical window between domain registration and widespread detection by antivirus databases. PhishDestroy's early detection capabilities allow for the identification of such threats during this vulnerable period, highlighting the importance of real-time threat intelligence. While the domain is now offline, its brief existence serves as a reminder of the continuous and evolving nature of phishing threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9871e69b95beccfff5b48e42b0622f6a
TLS cert SHA-256:      0566d4869b3bb56e89fd6eea956cf97d0ebac075f8e0cb45c8a1c5417dd3be02

## 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.
