## 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.

Last verified:     2026-06-25 20:20:35 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-23 21:48:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This site, mitarchive.info, presented a page titled "Google" and impersonated the Gmail brand to facilitate an email-based scam. The threat posed by this site involved deceiving users into believing they were accessing a legitimate Google or Gmail service, likely to harvest credentials or sensitive information through phishing.

Technical evidence from VirusTotal shows 11 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious. It was flagged by ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, ArcSight Threat Intelligence, Certego, and CRDF, and appeared on 2 blocklists. The domain was hosted on IP address 142.250.184.196 in the United States, belonging to AS15169 Google LLC. The registrar was GoDaddy.com, LLC, with nameservers tess.ns.cloudflare.com and guy.ns.cloudflare.com. SSL was issued by Google Trust Services for WE1. No creation date was provided.

The site is currently offline or down. GridinSoft trust rating is 1 out of 100, indicating high risk, and the DOM risk score is 25. Overall risk level is elevated due to vendor detections and brand impersonation, though the site is no longer active.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       78e4acff93ceddca43d2d169f5cfdfcc
TLS cert SHA-256:      2b7cd829606919d9c123bd8b10ac6a3bac6ed0cd7b3f635f387e848803f4cbf2

## 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.
