## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain prjx.finance, hosted on an Amazon IP in the US, is a cryptocurrency phishing scam. Despite being taken down, it was flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, reflecting its malicious intent. Detected by PhishDestroy on June 18, 2026, it was operational for a brief period before being deactivated.

Registered through Dynadot Inc, the domain utilized Let's Encrypt for its SSL certificate, indicating a level of sophistication in its setup. The platform risk score of 56 out of 100 and an abuse score of 21 out of 100 highlight the threat level it posed during its active phase. The domain's presence on a public blocklist further underscores its malicious nature.

PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline identified prjx.finance during the critical window before widespread antivirus coverage. This proactive approach helps mitigate the risks associated with fresh phishing domains, which often exploit the lag in AV database updates. The site's swift takedown limits potential harm, but the incident serves as a reminder of the persistent threats in the cryptocurrency space.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-07367D
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      0c399f6430bb96e918e97a5ef8dc941c88c166ddeaf52f3607b0c3e99bd80a98

## 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.
