## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2025-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2025-08-09 14:55:45 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-30 05:07:52 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy classifies linemacs.com as a low-risk phishing domain. Although the threat level is minimal, users should remain cautious due to its association with generic phishing tactics. The domain is no longer active, reducing immediate risk.

The domain resolved to IP 107.173.193.235 and was registered via WEBCC on May 11, 2025. It carried the page title 'Home - SealMaps' and was flagged by a small number of security vendors and one blocklist. This limited detection suggests early-stage or low-impact phishing activity.

Users and organizations should maintain standard phishing defenses such as email filtering and user education. Given the domain is offline, the immediate threat is diminished but monitoring for reactivation or related domains is advised to prevent future exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       a8e09ac42f13d5a4171258e2264bf555b77f58a04fd29fd1ab2ff89bbb536a27

## 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.
