## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E7

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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-26 13:34:58 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-20 08:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 15:24:37 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:37:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies postcapitalplc.com as a high-risk crypto drainer impersonating generic banking institutions. This domain was designed to deceive users into compromising their cryptocurrency assets, posing significant financial danger. Despite being offline now, its past activity revealed aggressive fraud tactics targeting unsuspecting victims.

The phishing scheme operated by mimicking legitimate banking websites, luring users to enter sensitive personal and crypto wallet information. Registered through OrangeHost LLC and flagged on security blocklists, it resolved to a suspicious IP address and triggered alerts from multiple threat intelligence sources including VirusTotal and AlienVault OTX. Such tactics enable attackers to silently drain victims’ crypto holdings.

Users should remain vigilant by avoiding suspicious links claiming to represent financial institutions. Never provide private keys or passwords on unfamiliar sites. If you suspect interaction with postcapitalplc.com or similar domains, immediately change your passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor your financial accounts for unusual activity. Report suspicious domains to cybersecurity authorities and use trusted security tools to stay protected.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       500e0b90513e54c4184b86627701ecc8
TLS cert SHA-256:      dacba780b25aed143b45ff2851d2b2c5bf483e1e2d62b0310811f278a66d7607

## 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.
