## 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: 2026-04-25 21:21:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies malgobek.ru as a generic phishing domain impersonating a cryptocurrency service to harvest user credentials. The domain is likely part of a credential theft campaign targeting crypto investors, leveraging deceptive branding to trick users into entering sensitive login information. No specific drainer kit or obfuscation method has been publicly documented at this stage, but the domain's recent creation and low detection rate suggest a rapidly evolving threat.    This domain was flagged on July 09, 2024, and is registered through RU-CENTER-RU. It resolves to IP address 185.111.111.157 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal shows 0/95 detections, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unverified, and no blocklist counts are publicly available. The domain's generic nature and lack of detections highlight the importance of proactive monitoring and user vigilance.    malgobek.ru remains active and under investigation, posing a moderate risk due to its potential to deceive users into submitting credentials. Security teams and users are advised to block the domain at the network level and avoid interacting with it. Immediate reporting to threat intelligence platforms is encouraged to aid in rapid detection and mitigation. Remaining risk is assessed as moderate, contingent on future takedown actions and further intelligence gathering.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a9c95d1ebefd7b263d2429ace4a5ed71
TLS cert SHA-256:      9b97e849139c7023e67a5ba5b1555ab1f85b312e581dbb69e4f867e7dad66248

## 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.
