## 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: 2026-03-24 00:24:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies polaris-cod.gg as a generic phishing domain linked to the popular Call of Duty gaming community. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and attempts to lure users with the page title “Call of Duty x Polaris Challenge | Ride. Respawn. Repeat.” This suggests a scheme to trick visitors with familiar gaming content to capture sensitive credentials.

Technical analysis reveals that polaris-cod.gg resolved to the IP address 216.239.38.21 and appeared on two security blocklists. VirusTotal flagged this domain with 2 out of 95 vendors marking it as suspicious, indicating a low but notable risk level. The Gridinsoft trust score rated the domain at 0/100, confirming its lack of reputation. These indicators support the classification as a phishing site, likely designed for credential harvesting in the gaming niche.

The domain is currently offline, indicating a possible takedown or self-removal after detection. Although the threat level is assessed as low, users are advised to remain cautious and avoid interacting with any content linked to polaris-cod.gg. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring such domains for recurrence and employing robust security practices to prevent credential compromise.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       aad878f20a3a215213c5a21c53d926ee
TLS cert SHA-256:      6402b534c9db7537d23ac1eb64bb07cca76bf94a7f51bfb97f20d2d4381973cf

## 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.
