## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:24:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies padrecash.dev as a brand impersonation domain targeting the Pump.fun platform. Classified as a low-risk threat, the domain attempts to deceive users by presenting itself as an official partnership program between Pump.fun and Padre, as indicated by its page title "Pump fun x Padre | Official Partnership Program." This tactic aims to exploit brand trust to lure unsuspecting visitors.

The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 172.67.165.179. Although it appears on three security blocklists and is flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, the overall detection rate remains low. These technical indicators suggest limited malicious activity or early-stage deployment. The use of a reputable registrar and Cloudflare-associated IP hints at attempts to mask the domain's true intent.

Currently, padrecash.dev is taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. Despite its inactive status, the presence on multiple blocklists underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring. Users and organizations should remain cautious of any future reactivation or similar impersonation attempts involving Pump.fun or related brands. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding engagement with this domain and reporting any suspicious activity linked to it.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       73d841f572a0e62e2e043b2ad8a69622
TLS cert SHA-256:      56f073f62da53cc530152371e6e967e56c451391874c99574b492be467e31e71

## 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.
