## 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 00:58:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies proexpertnetwork.xyz as a domain associated with generic phishing activity. While its risk level is assessed as low, the domain was flagged on one security blocklist, indicating some suspicion of malicious intent. Users should remain cautious when encountering this domain to prevent potential credential theft or fraud.

The domain proexpertnetwork.xyz was registered recently on November 30, 2024, through OwnRegistrar, Inc. It resolves to the IP address 192.3.190.186. VirusTotal analysis shows only one out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, suggesting limited but notable detection by security tools. The page title on the site was simply "proexpertnetwork," which provides minimal context but is consistent with phishing setups aiming to appear generic.

Currently, proexpertnetwork.xyz is offline and inaccessible, reducing immediate threat exposure. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid visiting or interacting with this domain if encountered. Security teams should monitor for any reactivation and update blocklists accordingly to prevent future phishing attempts leveraging this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       f0c0e663b80a4b571fa819b92e6827f7c470ba3720079e33fc1158ec7e18d22b

## 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.
