## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Last verified:     2026-06-23 08:20:37 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 22:58:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pcow.fi represents a fresh phishing threat, having been registered on June 18, 2026, and detected by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026. Despite its active status, it currently shows 0 detections on VirusTotal, highlighting its presence in the early detection window before antivirus databases update.

Registered under Key-Systems GmbH and hosted on IP 188.114.97.3, pcow.fi exploits the critical 24-72 hour gap between domain registration and antivirus database propagation. This period allows phishing domains like pcow.fi to operate under the radar, targeting users before security measures catch up.

PhishDestroy's proactive monitoring identifies threats like pcow.fi during this vulnerable window, offering an advantage over traditional antivirus solutions. The lack of VirusTotal detections underscores the domain's newness, not its safety, emphasizing the need for early detection systems to mitigate potential phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ecc6ce6e59630ae1ffbbd5d04b5c415f2a07343871e13ce669b5382c889d32c1

## 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.
