## 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: 2026-03-19 01:50:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies sofresh-updates.com as an active credential phishing domain designed to steal sensitive user information. This threat is significant because it can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, identity theft, and financial loss. The phishing page titled "Contactgegevens bijwerken" suggests it attempts to impersonate legitimate contact information update requests to deceive victims.

The domain sofresh-updates.com was registered recently on March 12, 2026, and is currently active. It has been flagged on at least one security blocklist, and 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected malicious activity associated with it. This indicates a strong consensus among security tools that the domain is involved in harmful phishing campaigns. Its infrastructure is likely designed to collect credentials under false pretenses, posing a high risk to anyone who interacts with it.

Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting sofresh-updates.com and never provide personal or login information on this site. If you have already entered credentials, immediately change your passwords on legitimate services and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Reporting the domain to your organization's IT security team or a trusted cybersecurity authority can help prevent further victimization. Staying vigilant against such phishing threats is crucial for online safety.

## 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.
