# PhishDestroy threat dossier — lends.pics
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-29 12:08:51 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/lends.pics/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/94 security vendors flagged this domain
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-04-18
HTTP response:   530

## 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: 2026-04-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 15:22:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:30:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The phishing domain lends.pics, created on 2026-04-18, has been taken down, but its early detection is noteworthy. With 0 detections on VirusTotal, this domain exemplifies how phishing threats can exploit the gap between domain registration and antivirus database updates. PhishDestroy's proactive monitoring caught this domain during its brief active period, showcasing our ability to identify threats before they propagate widely.

Despite its offline status, lends.pics initially posed a risk as a phishing domain. Its presence on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, highlights the importance of early threat identification. The domain's lack of VirusTotal detections underscores its freshness at the time of discovery, rather than safety, emphasizing the need for upstream threat intelligence to mitigate potential harm.

Lends.pics serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of phishing threats and the critical role of early detection. By capturing such domains before they enter antivirus feeds, PhishDestroy provides a crucial layer of defense, helping to protect users from emerging scams. The swift takedown of lends.pics illustrates effective collaboration between threat intelligence providers and domain registrars in combating cybercrime.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       d9a0f9f655ae8708147e53e542de518b

## 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.
