## 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: 2026-04-16 17:49:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

redir.mailreference.fr has been assessed with an elevated risk level due to its involvement in generic phishing campaigns. This domain is actively engaged in attempts to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, posing a significant threat to online safety.

Technical analysis reveals that redir.mailreference.fr was created on September 12, 2025, and is registered through IONOS SE. It resolves to the IP address 37.208.111.5 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which can help it appear legitimate to unsuspecting users. VirusTotal reports that 3 out of 95 security vendors identify this domain as malicious. Additionally, it is listed on two separate security blocklists and is blocked by OpenPhish and PhishingArmy. Google Safe Browsing flags it specifically for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, highlighting its use in deceptive phishing strategies.

Given the nature of the threat, users and organizations should implement strong email filtering to detect and quarantine messages containing this domain. It is crucial to educate users about the risks of phishing and to avoid clicking on links or providing credentials through suspicious redirects associated with redir.mailreference.fr. Continuous monitoring of network traffic for connections to this IP is recommended, alongside updating endpoint security tools to recognize and block known malicious indicators tied to this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      7011ef5b822dc50751bd86a4834279b020b9e2501216283458aa70dad02c3978

## 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.
