## 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: 2026-04-20 14:44:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

plinkosino.com is actively involved in credential harvesting phishing attacks, targeting users by impersonating legitimate services to steal sensitive login information. This type of threat poses significant risks including unauthorized account access and potential financial loss.

This domain was created recently on March 3, 2026, and is registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO. It currently resolves to IP address 104.21.5.241 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal analysis flags it by 2 out of 95 security vendors, indicating some detection by automated systems. Despite the low number of flags, the domain's elevated risk level and active status warrant caution.

Users who have visited plinkosino.com should immediately avoid entering any credentials or personal data on this site. It is recommended to run updated antivirus scans, change passwords if any were entered, and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. Blocking or blacklisting this domain can prevent further exposure to this credential harvesting threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260420-10166C
Favicon MD5:       0bd61f39f3a41687e761b90c41e661fd
TLS cert SHA-256:      9c2c6237ba2396b647fc4415733357a4f0645c2e66eebb0da4f51674d64c1d1d

## 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.
