pfcreditunion.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

pfcreditunion.com is currently active and serves a page titled “Pfcreditunion- Your New Favorite Bank”. The site resolves to IP 163.61.188.7, which geolocates to the United States and is hosted by Hostinger UAB. DNS is managed by four LyteHosting nameservers. The domain uses a Let’s Encrypt R12 certificate, and its MX record points to the same host name, indicating a functional mail service that could be used for credential harvesting. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been added to PhishDestroy’s blocklist. It is referenced in two AlienVault OTX pulses, and six of ninety‑one VirusTotal scanners have flagged it as malicious. These indicators collectively confirm that the infrastructure is being leveraged for phishing. No public analysis of the page content beyond the title is available, so the exact credential‑capture method remains unknown. Defenders should block the domain at network perimeter and DNS, monitor for outbound connections to 163.61.188.7, and consider adding the domain to internal blacklists. Continued threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any updates on associated phishing kits or victim reports.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d6cb662fb98d038e83cba27e0191342f
TLS cert SHA-256:      ab3f0dac8aff144806044242306227c78d6fbc287b56ccd23e03a3a789b4131c

## 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.
