## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Expires:    2026-05-21
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-07-07 21:33:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain play-sweet-bonanza-drk.website has been identified as a credential harvesting phishing site specifically impersonating Facebook. Analysis confirms the site presents a fraudulent login interface under the page title 'Facebook,' designed to capture user credentials. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity indicates active malicious intent.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on December 23, 2025, through NameCheap, Inc. and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) infrastructure. The site lacks an SSL certificate, a common red flag for phishing operations. Detection metrics show 19 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, while it appears on one security blocklist. The combination of brand impersonation, absence of encryption, and low detection thresholds underscores its elevated risk profile.  Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, though similar infrastructure may re-emerge under different names. Organizations and users are advised to block the domain and IP at network perimeters, monitor for credential reuse from exposed accounts, and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to mitigate credential-based attacks. Security teams should correlate this domain with other Facebook-themed phishing campaigns to identify broader patterns in attacker infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260222-2D1C57

## 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.
