## 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: 2026-07-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-08 14:49:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-14 00:20:46 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 14:55:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is currently under investigation for credential theft through brand impersonation of small business services. The site presents itself as a legitimate Sacramento-based parking lot striping provider, potentially targeting local contractors or property managers with fake service offers to harvest login credentials or payment details.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on July 07, 2026 through NAMECHEAP INC, resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, and maintains an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. VirusTotal shows 0 detections across 95 engines, and no blocklists currently flag this domain. The page title explicitly states 'Hold the Line — Sacramento Parking Lot Striping (free matching)', suggesting an attempt to mimic local service providers.  Mitigation steps specific to credential theft via brand impersonation include: verifying domain registration dates through WHOIS lookups before entering credentials, cross-checking service provider details through official business directories, implementing browser-based credential protection tools that flag newly registered domains, and training employees to recognize mismatches between branding and domain names. Organizations should monitor for unexpected login attempts from the IP 188.114.96.3 and consider blocking domains registered within the last 30 days that impersonate local service providers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d4e90b6f6ea8f247468ae4a150baac85
TLS cert SHA-256:      92a391fe64871fa9813a4051c0cea7216e759cc7217185ac8c1e6fb03a146440

## 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.
