## 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: 2026-03-03 14:57:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies recovery-wizards.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain actively targeting victims. The threat posed by this site is significant due to its ongoing malicious activity designed to deceive users and steal sensitive information.

Supporting evidence includes detection by 15 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating a broad consensus on its malicious nature. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and already appears on one security blocklist, reinforcing its status as a dangerous asset within phishing infrastructure.

Users and organizations are advised to exercise caution and avoid interacting with recovery-wizards.com. Current mitigation strategies include monitoring network traffic for connections to this domain and utilizing updated blocklists. The domain remains active, and vigilance is necessary to prevent exposure to its phishing schemes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fca693a786d737ac5aac2f2c8e169f92
TLS cert SHA-256:      bc31ca8cf1882a3d4a73e072203fae2ecee693dd1a93dac55c319e563b0c2b6b

## 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.
