TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 58/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/93 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R13
Expires:    2026-05-19
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: b276ff522773d3520929c4cf8c18f95defc86a7d17826dfbe559602e394d2999
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - staging.jedinews.com

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:22:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-02 23:04:56 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-24 20:00:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain jedinews.com, associated with a high threat score of 70/100, presents itself as a generic phishing operation. The site is currently down, indicating it has likely been taken down due to its malicious activities. VirusTotal reports no detections from 95 security vendors, while it is listed on one public blocklist, and Google Safe Browsing has not flagged it.

Registered with Tucows Domains Inc. in Canada, the domain was created on February 21, 2026, and first seen on February 26, 2026. The hosting IP is 185.151.30.137. The absence of brand identification suggests a broad targeting approach typical of generic scams.

Block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk to mitigate potential threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260102-214BFA
Favicon MD5:       14faafa8633a6951478c4f5870c183a2
TLS cert SHA-256:      b276ff522773d3520929c4cf8c18f95defc86a7d17826dfbe559602e394d2999

## 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.
