## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 00:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-12 02:58:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:29:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain party-chog.icu is identified as a phishing threat, flagged by 6 out of 92 vendors on VirusTotal. It is also listed on public blocklists such as MetaMask and SEAL, indicating its involvement in malicious activities targeting users. Despite being taken down and offline, it remains a concern due to its previous activities.

Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was hosted on an IP address managed by CloudFlare, Inc., located in Canada. The SSL certificate for the domain was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its ease of access and automation.

The presence of party-chog.icu on multiple blocklists suggests it was part of a broader phishing campaign, potentially targeting users of cryptocurrency services like MetaMask. The swift inclusion in blocklists and the VirusTotal detections highlight the domain's threat level before being taken offline. Such domains often exploit the gap between registration and detection by security vendors, emphasizing the need for proactive threat intelligence measures.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cb2373444f70c297836610e5e9e9bda7
TLS cert SHA-256:      dac79692ccb868f6d7a9f2dc6b24c0bb9a9181f2bdcf9885e4990bfe21f76d76

## 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.
