## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:40:50 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-02 20:27:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:58:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies planet-iran.com as a potentially unsafe domain linked to generic phishing activities, though currently considered low risk. The domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate threat, but it remains listed on one security blocklist and flagged by a single security vendor out of many. Users should remain cautious, as phishing sites aim to steal sensitive information by masquerading as legitimate services.

This phishing domain likely attempted to deceive visitors by mimicking trusted websites or services related to Iran, trying to trick users into providing personal or financial details. Phishing attacks often use convincing designs and communication to lure victims into submitting credentials or other private data, which attackers then misuse for fraud or identity theft. The IP address 188.114.96.3 and registration through NameCheap, Inc. are part of its known infrastructure.

If you have visited planet-iran.com recently, it is important to review your accounts for suspicious activity and change any passwords you may have entered on the site. Running a comprehensive antivirus and anti-malware scan is recommended. Avoid clicking on any links or downloading files from this domain in the future. Staying informed and cautious is the best defense against phishing threats like this one.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9c894c15d9f3c28b3fa5c23653f2cf37
TLS cert SHA-256:      4299e455dd6962df5beb0f3978d315b7303c0a39f9ee18a130c5f022b5b462f2

## 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.
