## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-03-19 01:25:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies pynth.network as a generic phishing domain exhibiting high-risk characteristics. The domain, associated with fraudulent activity mimicking FASTPANEL, was registered recently, marking it as suspicious. Its classification as generic phishing stems from attempts to deceive users for credential theft or other malicious outcomes.

Technical indicators include its registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolution to IP address 5.252.118.59. The domain appears on two security blocklists and has been featured in three AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. VirusTotal analysis shows 14 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, reinforcing its malicious nature. The domain was created on December 18, 2025, indicating it is relatively new but already associated with illicit activity.

Currently, pynth.network is offline, reflecting active mitigation efforts against this phishing threat. Its removal from active status reduces immediate risk, but users and security teams should remain vigilant. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of any resurgence or related domains leveraging similar infrastructure or branding to prevent future compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       825eb1a627f34c3d1fad85cb5904b5ac0fded65f677c5a85fa992e42c450fd99

## 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.
