Fingerprint: c6c15a4629d19de43ac1989de0395291f908d8aa8d60c00cbf2041125b20d357

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:47:28 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 00:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 18:21:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:04:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a generic phishing threat, attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. 

PhishDestroy identifies readersites.com as a high-risk domain, currently active, and registered through Dynadot Inc, with 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, indicating a potential threat to users' personal data.

If a user has visited readersites.com, they should immediately verify the site's safety on PhishDestroy and take necessary precautions to protect their sensitive information, as the domain's generic phishing nature and high risk level, seeded b21113, indicate a potential for significant harm

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       253e8026296351f169b0ef789b0555fa
TLS cert SHA-256:      c6c15a4629d19de43ac1989de0395291f908d8aa8d60c00cbf2041125b20d357

## 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.
