## 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: 2026-03-03 02:28:15 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 the domain newtan.network as a potential phishing threat. Registered on August 6, 2025, this domain attracted attention due to suspicious activity indicative of generic phishing campaigns. The page title, "Nur einen Moment…," suggests a deceptive tactic to delay victims while harvesting credentials or other sensitive information.

Technically, newtan.network resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain appeared on three separate security blocklists, reinforcing its medium-risk classification. These indicators point to active monitoring and detection by multiple cybersecurity entities, highlighting its malicious intent.

As of now, the domain has been taken offline, mitigating further risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued vigilance and monitoring of related infrastructure, as phishing actors may attempt to reuse similar domain patterns or infrastructure. Users and organizations should ensure their security controls remain updated to block any resurgence or related threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

## 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.
