## 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: 2026-07-06 15:00:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pikasho.net has been identified as a generic phishing threat. It impersonates an APK download service, potentially targeting users seeking software for Android devices. The current status of this domain is active, and it may serve as a conduit for malicious activities, including data harvesting or distributing malware.

Technical indicators reveal that the domain was created on April 17, 2026, and is registered through NAMECHEAP INC. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.4.153. VirusTotal analysis shows a detection score of 0/95, indicating that it has not been flagged by any antivirus engines at this time. The domain does not appear to be listed on known blocklists and currently has no GSB (Google Safe Browsing) status indicators.

As of now, the domain remains active and under investigation. Security teams should monitor this domain closely and consider implementing measures to block access or warn users about its fraudulent nature. The risk level remains under investigation as further analysis may reveal additional threats associated with this domain.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0f7ec33048d3a4ae3c7928ccf65e1d2a
TLS cert SHA-256:      4d7bb6add26fdc4b5f71f3eb35aaaf86a330efe1b956e25ac55e8c406dd641c3

## 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.
