## 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: 2026-06-24 22:24:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as a credential harvesting site actively masquerading as a legitimate web service. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of a recently registered domain (June 22, 2026) designed to impersonate a known brand, likely targeting users through phishing emails or spoofed login portals. The domain resolves to IP 198.187.31.85, hosted on namecheap infrastructure, suggesting opportunistic abuse of a reputable hosting provider.  Analysis indicates the domain employs generic phishing tactics to harvest credentials and sensitive input. Technical indicators include zero detections across 95 threat engines on VirusTotal, indicating low detection coverage despite suspicious behavior. The domain is registered via NAMECHEAP INC using namecheaphosting.com nameservers, and has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing as of current assessment. No specific drainer kit or advanced tooling has been identified in open-source intelligence, suggesting a basic but effective campaign.  Current status shows the domain remains active and accessible. Immediate response actions include blocking the IP 198.187.31.85 and domain msweblive.us at the network perimeter and reviewing proxy logs for prior exposure. The domain presents a moderate risk due to its recent activation and potential for user deception. Remediation priorities include takedown coordination with the hosting provider and updating browser blocklists. Users should avoid interacting with this domain and report any incidents involving credential submission from msweblive.us.

## 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.
