## 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 05:38:56 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 motecas.com as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, posing a medium risk to users. The domain's page title, "MOTECAS | Open the world of luck and rewards!", suggests a lure related to rewards or gambling, a common tactic to entice victims. Although the threat is not classified as high risk, users should remain cautious due to its phishing nature.

Technically, motecas.com was registered on February 21, 2026, via Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.179.103 and currently appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis flags the domain by 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating some recognition of malicious behavior. This infrastructure profile aligns with typical phishing setups that leverage newly registered domains and known hosting providers.

At present, motecas.com has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this domain or submitting any credentials if encountered. Continued monitoring is recommended to detect any reactivation or related phishing campaigns. Organizations should update blocklists accordingly to prevent exposure to this threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c5fdf0b4e1b22e1852a7527455c48a2edc6ef1154a90155543a498c4a4e750a1

## 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.
