## 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: 2026-06-26 14:27:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain pichacohisecure.lat indicates that it is actively engaged in credential phishing, targeting users of Banco Pichincha. The site mimics the legitimate banking portal with a page title 'Banca Web | Banco Pichincha', designed to deceive users into providing sensitive information such as usernames and passwords.

This domain was created on June 25, 2026, and is registered through Spaceship, Inc. It resolves to the IP address 66.29.148.176. According to VirusTotal, 5 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, suggesting a high level of suspicion. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, while legitimate, does not guarantee the safety of the site, as it is commonly used by phishing sites to appear more trustworthy.

Users who have visited pichacohisecure.lat should immediately check their Banco Pichincha accounts for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to change passwords and enable two-factor authentication if not already in place. Additionally, users should report the incident to their bank and monitor their financial statements closely for any signs of fraud.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      1da69e9e3b516c7f2847b0567f338b0d1716e7f019c3de9e07dd78c5d2c58077

## 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.
