## 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: 2026-07-11 16:31:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain kalshistrade.com has been identified as a credential theft site and is currently active. This domain has been flagged for its association with malicious activities aimed at stealing user credentials. As of now, there is no specific brand being impersonated.

Infrastructure analysis indicates that kalshistrade.com resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was created on July 11, 2026. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and has been reported on 3 security blocklists. Furthermore, the domain has received a low trust score, being flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, which further corroborates its malicious intent.

Considering the high-risk status of kalshistrade.com, it is strongly recommended that users avoid interaction with this domain. Security teams should implement blocking measures against this domain across their networks, and users should be educated on recognizing phishing attempts to mitigate the risk of credential theft. Continuous monitoring of this domain's activity is also advised to ensure proactive threat management.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       9dd1ea233ae99c15414daba2d49cf277

## 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.
