## 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: 2025-12-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-01-21 14:17:43 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 12:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 15:24:47 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 18:39:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain radassociates.dev has been identified as a high-risk brand impersonation phishing site, specifically targeting users of Microsoft. As of the latest intelligence, the domain is offline, but while active, it hosted a fraudulent login page titled "Sign in to your account" designed to steal credentials. This kind of threat is commonly used in credential harvesting campaigns, where victims are tricked into entering their Microsoft account usernames and passwords.

Technical indicators reveal that radassociates.dev was registered on December 19, 2025, through Gandi SAS, and resolved to IP address 52.165.230.236. It used an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (R12) to appear legitimate. VirusTotal analysis shows that 26 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. Additionally, AlienVault OTX recorded the domain in four threat intelligence pulses, indicating active monitoring by the security community. Google Safe Browsing also flagged the site for phishing, confirming the threat.

Given that the domain is now offline, the immediate risk of credential theft from this specific site is reduced. However, users who may have visited the page should change their Microsoft account passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication if not already active. PhishDestroy recommends that users always verify the authenticity of login pages by checking the URL and looking for official brand communications. For any suspicious activity, report it to Microsoft and monitor accounts for unauthorized access.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e9bf7e9f653a2041a25ef7e5bd9414406cf192b28681bf6703fb12825d9a8527

## 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.
