## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-29 05:01:39 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-29 12:16:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 06:55:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, softload.org, is identified as an active credential theft phishing site designed to harvest user login credentials through fraudulent login portals. Analysis indicates the domain employs social engineering tactics, including fake authentication pages, to trick users into submitting sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. The infrastructure is structured to mimic legitimate services, increasing the likelihood of successful compromise for unsuspecting visitors.  Evidence supporting this assessment includes detection by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a high-confidence malicious classification. The domain was registered on February 15, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with abusive domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.185.102 and utilizes an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to potential victims. No additional blocklist entries were identified beyond the VirusTotal detections, but the domain remains active and unmitigated.  Users who have visited softload.org or interacted with any content hosted on this domain should immediately reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the visit. Enable multi-factor authentication where available and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Network administrators are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address (172.67.185.102) at the perimeter to prevent further exposure. If credentials were entered, assume compromise and conduct a full audit of linked accounts, including financial and email services. No legitimate services are associated with this domain, and all interactions should be treated as malicious.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260629-C07128
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      e7bb6b9621d7baa98503ffd8193fcb7d3e8d7134dcb7e25d8d5df6cf753fb2ad

## 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.
