## 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.

## TIMELINE

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a significant threat as it attempts to deceive users into downloading a fake Netcoins Desktop App, which could lead to credential theft or other malicious activities. The evidence suggests that netcoinsdesktop.com was created on June 16, 2026, through Squarespace Domains LLC, and has been flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while also appearing on 3 security blocklists, indicating a substantial risk to users. 

 The domain's registration and hosting details, such as its resolution to IP 91.92.241.250 and the use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, further support the notion that this is a sophisticated phishing operation, as seen in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, and its current offline status may only be temporary. 

 If users have visited this domain, they should immediately check their systems for any suspicious activity, monitor their accounts for unauthorized access, and consider changing their passwords, as the generic phishing threat posed by netcoinsdesktop.com could have severe consequences if left unchecked, and taking prompt action is essential to mitigate any potential damage, using the unique seed fa8763 to guide their safety measures.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-F26279
TLS cert SHA-256:      2cab01c959976ad06668de9ec2b95e0fd43ac81dcecab289bf79e95a6a4c4bbb

## 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.
