## 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: 2026-03-19 02:43:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified market.cs2.com.ru as a medium-risk phishing domain. Although the exact impersonated brand is unclear, the domain is associated with generic phishing tactics designed to deceive users and capture sensitive information. Such threats matter because they can lead to data theft, financial loss, and compromised accounts.

The domain market.cs2.com.ru was created recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 89.111.143.197. It has appeared on at least one security blocklist and has been flagged by 5 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. When accessed, the domain returns a '403 Forbidden' page, which might be used to limit public visibility while targeted phishing campaigns are underway.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with market.cs2.com.ru and to remain vigilant for unsolicited requests for personal or financial information. Employing updated antivirus software, enabling multi-factor authentication, and verifying URLs before clicking can reduce the risk of falling victim to phishing schemes. If you suspect that you have been targeted by this domain, consider changing passwords and reporting the incident to your IT or security team.

## 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.
