## 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: 2026-06-29 12:00:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

primecircletrade.com has been identified as a high-risk generic phishing site and remains active as of the latest analysis. The site poses a significant risk of credential theft or financial fraud through deceptive tactics. No specific brand impersonation has been observed, but the site’s intent classifies it as a generic phishing threat.

Technical analysis reveals primecircletrade.com resolves to IP address 198.251.84.200. The domain was registered on June 15, 2026 via Global Domain Group LLC and is still active. VirusTotal intelligence shows it is currently flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors, indicating emerging threat status. No further blocklist detections or trust score reductions are documented at this time, but the low detection rate does not preclude risk as threat activity may be evolving.

Given its active status and the confirmed phishing flag, immediate blocking of network access to 198.251.84.200 and primecircletrade.com is recommended. Continuous monitoring for additional detections is advised. Users should be warned against visiting this domain, and incident response teams should update detection rules to prevent exposure to associated threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260629-864669
Favicon MD5:       03800ead06d6f6b6bad1995a4336fd12
TLS cert SHA-256:      6dbbb71bd88187dfb30928c1624fe34ff9adaa4ed5b18570c8887945dd0f2896

## 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 (operator 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.
