## 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: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-17 17:06:56 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 06:20:49 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies portsigngov.cfd as a generic phishing domain that was observed impersonating a reCAPTCHA verification page. The domain is currently offline, but while active it posed a significant threat to users who may have encountered it through deceptive links or emails. The site attempted to trick visitors into completing a fake reCAPTCHA challenge, a common technique used to harvest credentials or deliver malware.

Technical indicators for portsigngov.cfd include an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (YR1), which provided a false sense of security. The domain was registered through OwnRegistrar, Inc. and created on June 16, 2026. It resolved to IP address 37.77.150.237 and appeared on 3 security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that 3 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious. Despite the low detection rate, the combination of impersonation tactics and blocklist presence confirms the threat.

As of now, portsigngov.cfd has been taken offline, which reduces immediate risk. However, users who may have interacted with this site should scan their devices for malware and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. PhishDestroy recommends staying vigilant against similar phishing pages that use CAPTCHA verification as a lure. Always verify URLs before entering sensitive information and enable multi-factor authentication where possible.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-2BC748
Favicon MD5:       c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9
TLS cert SHA-256:      a60e9a89b1beac52323d9dedafb8999de50152bf7529bb2feb1fdab70713abf1

## 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.
