## 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: 2026-03-19 01:49:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies piako-finance.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain. This site aims to deceive users, potentially compromising sensitive information. The elevated risk level demands caution from internet users and security teams.

Supporting evidence for this assessment includes its appearance on multiple security blocklists and detection by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc., and resolves to IP address 74.50.79.163. Its poor PageSpeed score of 34/100 indicates a hastily constructed malicious site, commonly seen in phishing operations. Additionally, it has a zero trust score on Gridinsoft and is noted in an AlienVault OTX threat pulse.

Currently, piako-finance.com is taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to stay vigilant by avoiding the domain and reporting any suspicious activity. Employing updated security software and awareness can help mitigate threats from phishing domains like this one.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      9ce68aadd5b03315e27a14e4e8cb395cd5152be2eb0d8118ce1d2e1ba847d655

## 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.
