## 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: 2026-04-15 08:47:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain playwin.tw has been identified as a source of credential harvesting scams, a targeted phishing threat designed to steal user login information. This specific type of attack aims to trick users into submitting sensitive credentials, which can lead to unauthorized access and potential identity theft.

According to VirusTotal analysis, playwin.tw is flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors. The domain was registered through GNAME.COM on March 15, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.73.116. It uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. Despite the low detection count, the domain remains active and is considered an elevated risk due to its phishing focus.

Users who have visited playwin.tw are advised to immediately change any credentials entered on the site and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. It is important to run updated antivirus scans and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Avoid interacting further with this domain and consult the full report to understand the risks and mitigation steps in detail.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a8bbd76b1688da98c70063604f638d3b
TLS cert SHA-256:      0a3bebac47dcf56a354a84f17dd47e1b83a5cf3353939b283103751a13447023

## 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.
