## 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: 2019-03-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 14:23:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-06 18:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 14:24:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as an active software impersonation scam designed to distribute malicious payloads under the guise of legitimate PeaZip software. Analysis indicates the site mimics the official PeaZip download portal, presenting users with a fraudulent installer that likely contains malware, potentially including backdoors, spyware, or ransomware. The page title 'Peazip.fr - Télécharger Peazip pour PC' closely mirrors legitimate download pages, increasing the likelihood of successful deception among French-speaking users seeking compression tools.  Infrastructure analysis reveals several concerning indicators. The domain peazip.fr resolves to IP address 35.214.148.249 and was registered through TLD Registrar Solutions Ltd on March 8, 2019. Despite its five-year operation, the domain has evaded detection, showing 0 out of 95 detections on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. No blocklist entries were found, suggesting either effective evasion techniques or recent activation of malicious activity.  Users who have visited peazip.fr or downloaded files from this domain should take immediate action. Isolate the affected system from networks to prevent potential lateral movement. Perform a full system scan using updated security tools to detect and remove any installed malware. Reset all credentials that may have been exposed during the interaction, particularly those used on the same device. Monitor financial and personal accounts for unauthorized activity. Organizations should review network logs for connections to 35.214.148.249 and consider implementing DNS-based blocking for the domain to prevent further exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1f496e858416c280a670a726d9cfba21
TLS cert SHA-256:      7a57d512437ad143250bb7c1744ac8552512ff63396b34bf19e801bcd675d895

## 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.
