## 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 02:06:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies marketcorecap.com as a high-risk phishing domain currently active and posing a serious threat to users. This site masquerades as a legitimate platform related to the Pi Network, a popular blockchain and developer community, to deceive visitors. Because it is flagged by multiple security vendors and listed on at least one blocklist, this domain should be considered unsafe and avoided entirely.

The phishing technique employed by marketcorecap.com involves mimicking the Pi Network’s official branding and messaging to lure users into submitting sensitive information such as login credentials, private keys, or personal data. Once obtained, attackers can misuse this information to compromise accounts, steal digital assets, or conduct further fraudulent activities. The domain was registered recently and resolves to an IP address known to host malicious content, emphasizing its intent to exploit unsuspecting users.

If you have visited marketcorecap.com, it is critical to immediately change any passwords related to your cryptocurrency or online accounts and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider running a malware scan on your device. Reporting the phishing attempt to your security provider and relevant authorities can help prevent others from falling victim. Staying vigilant and verifying URLs before entering any information remains the best defense against such phishing threats.

## 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.
