## 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: 2026-06-26 12:45:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates that slon-k.ru poses a significant threat as a generic phishing domain. The domain, which resolves to the IP address 176.57.65.161, was created on March 28, 2026, and has been taken offline. The page title 'СЛОН&Ко - Ножевая мастерская | Ножи ручной работы' suggests it was designed to appear legitimate, potentially mimicking a reputable knife-making workshop to lure unsuspecting users.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that slon-k.ru has been flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a low but notable level of suspicion. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has been included in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. The SSL certificate for the domain is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of use and free availability. Additionally, the domain has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, which further corroborates the elevated risk level.

If users have visited slon-k.ru, they are advised to immediately change any passwords or credentials that may have been entered on the site. It is also recommended to run a full system scan using updated antivirus software to detect and remove any potential malware. Users should remain vigilant and avoid clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown or untrusted sources to prevent similar incidents in the future.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5e4b01dc7293ccd9e319a08d1023dd8f
TLS cert SHA-256:      3be52f6d724664dcf996b89cd3323dd1688270571955d288519459f3b6cfb184

## 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 (operator 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.
