## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-21 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 03:47:55 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-15 06:33:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-22 04:29:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:29:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pub-05a201f3739e48679444075dcc82348c.r2.dev is part of a phishing operation detected early in its lifecycle. Despite having zero detections on VirusTotal, it is already listed on a public blocklist by PhishDestroy. This highlights the domain's freshness and the effectiveness of PhishDestroy's early detection capabilities, which operate ahead of traditional antivirus databases.

Registered through Cloudflare R2, the domain is hosted on IP address 104.18.54.45, managed by Cloudflare, Inc., and located in Canada. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, indicating a level of sophistication in the setup of this phishing attempt. Although the domain is currently offline, its initial purpose was likely to deceive users into divulging sensitive information.

Phishing domains like this one often exploit a 24-72 hour window between registration and inclusion in antivirus feeds. This window allows attackers to operate under the radar of most security systems. PhishDestroy's proactive measures ensure that such threats are identified and mitigated before they can cause significant harm. The early identification of this domain underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and rapid response in cybersecurity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9
TLS cert SHA-256:      a7d73cf57253857ea0369aef51d03b8bfec991d66c420507d76c7c2e4d217189

## 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.
