## 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: 2026-03-19 05:36:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies io-fm.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that posed a threat to users by attempting to deceive them into revealing sensitive information. Phishing sites like io-fm.com are designed to mimic legitimate services, tricking users into submitting personal data such as login credentials, financial details, or other confidential information.

This domain was flagged due to its generic phishing behavior and appeared on three security blocklists. It was registered recently via NameCheap, Inc., and resolved to an IP address that raised suspicion. Although currently offline and showing an "Account Suspended" page, io-fm.com had been detected by several security vendors, making it unsafe for access. Phishing attacks through such domains typically involve fake login pages or fraudulent messages aiming to harvest user data.

If you have visited io-fm.com, it is important to immediately change any passwords you might have entered on the site and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or providing personal information on unknown websites. Using updated antivirus software and enabling multi-factor authentication can help protect your data from similar threats in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c1389df5148e7ed738efebd96bc01b3c
TLS cert SHA-256:      b2e87d90d3962b349e4806f599ff81b072f3e0141603ae866b417d347363b58f

## 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.
