## 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.

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-23 00:20:59 UTC

pdf-online.us Fake Document Scam Alert

PhishDestroy identifies pdf-online.us as a domain posing a generic_phishing threat, potentially tricking users into divulging sensitive information. 
   
This domain was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant risk, its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt / E8, and it resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. 

Users who visited pdf-online.us should immediately monitor their accounts for suspicious activity, considering the elevated risk level and the fact that the domain is still active, they should also report any incidents to the relevant authorities, using the unique seed 9d0d6a for reference.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      225e785a6068b39fc704aabcc8d1ce9c27cfbf12d15a2af58624b2381d4dd49d

## 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.
