## 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: 2026-07-03 11:44:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pulse.qa.circle.colligence.in has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently active. This domain impersonates the brand 'Circle' and features the title 'Circle Pulse · Usage Analytics'.

Domain intelligence reveals that pulse.qa.circle.colligence.in was created on May 18, 2023, and is registered through GoDaddy. It resolves to the IP address 172.232.107.6 and is not flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a detection count of 0. The domain has not yet appeared on any known blocklists, which reflects a lack of awareness or reporting regarding its malicious nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt.

The current status of this domain is still active, indicating ongoing operational use. It is recommended to monitor this domain closely for any changes in detection status. Additionally, organizations should educate users on the characteristics of phishing attempts and implement protective measures such as email filtering and domain blocking to mitigate potential risks associated with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260703-57D243
Favicon MD5:       c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc
TLS cert SHA-256:      abbc0277abc9d51458adc86d470e72c7c334097e49e92716c38b4f8cf1e3c965

## 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.
