## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-28 17:49:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pellnetwork.icu as a suspicious site posing as a cryptocurrency investment platform. The domain mimics legitimate crypto services to trick users into depositing funds that will be stolen. Scammers often use fake investment sites to exploit victims' trust in digital assets, making this a high-risk threat to cryptocurrency users.

This domain was flagged due to its association with generic phishing tactics targeting crypto investors. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines, which may indicate it is newly active or using evasion techniques. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to appear trustworthy. Registrar and creation date details are not disclosed in public records, but the lack of detections suggests it is still under the radar.

If you visited pellnetwork.icu, do not enter any personal information, passwords, or cryptocurrency wallet details. Disconnect from the site immediately and run a full antivirus scan. If you entered sensitive data, change all related passwords and contact your bank or crypto wallet provider. Report the domain to your local cybercrime unit or platforms like PhishDestroy for further investigation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       61d47a376f125cbbc36f995a19169d32
TLS cert SHA-256:      fce7365189c3a4c7bb8d9dae50efe2fdb5ce7932c867d75200e6567c333e8fe1

## 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.
