## 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: 2026-03-24 00:59:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies realminersforum.pro as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, classified at a low risk level. The domain’s primary threat involved deceptive online trading content, potentially aiming to mislead users into providing sensitive information. Although the risk level is low, caution is advised given the domain’s phishing designation.

Supporting evidence for this assessment includes a single security vendor flagging the domain on VirusTotal out of 95 checks, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The domain resolved to the IP address 163.61.188.5 and was registered via Global Domain Group LLC on February 21, 2026. It also appeared on one security blocklist and received a zero trust score from Gridinsoft, suggesting minimal reputation. The page title “Online trading with regulated Forex” points to an attempt to exploit trust in financial services.

Currently, realminersforum.pro is offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. Users and organizations should maintain standard phishing awareness practices by avoiding interaction with suspicious URLs and verifying legitimacy through trusted sources. PhishDestroy continues to monitor such low-level threats to provide timely intelligence for safer browsing experiences.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon MD5:       8fc5980c566d70f0eb68e868a8d69b6b

## 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.
