## 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

PanteraCapitalNewsletter.com Generic Phishing Detected

This domain, panteracapitalnewsletter.com, was registered on 13 July 2026 via Squarespace Domains LLC and is currently active. It resolves to the IPv4 address 198.49.23.144 and uses the squarespacedns.com name server set (nsd1–nsd4). The site presents a valid Let’s Encrypt YR2 TLS certificate, indicating that HTTPS connections are successfully negotiated. VirusTotal records show the domain has been scanned by 91 vendors without any current detections, but the absence of alerts does not constitute assurance of benign intent. The only classified activity is a generic phishing indicator, and no additional malware, command‑and‑control, or credential‑harvesting infrastructure has been observed. Because the domain’s creation date is recent and its hosting aligns with a commercial DNS provider, automated attribution is limited. Defenders should monitor DNS resolutions for 198.49.23.144, enforce outbound filtering for URLs containing "panteracapitalnewsletter.com", and consider adding the domain to blocklists pending further investigation. Continuous re‑scanning with threat intelligence platforms is recommended to capture any emergent payloads or malicious redirects.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-276A04
TLS cert SHA-256:      5093369892d800f25f5cddefbfb4848d30e5fdb738f6e6781c9af146d2af5558

## 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 (operator 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.
