## 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.

somaliscan.live Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain somaliscan.live is a confirmed phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting Google. It presents a fraudulent login page designed to harvest user credentials under the guise of the legitimate Google brand. No crypto drainer kit was observed. As of the latest verification, somaliscan.live has been taken offline.

Technical indicators confirm the elevated risk posed by somaliscan.live. The domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, including Gridinsoft and SOCRadar, and appears on 3 security blocklists: PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. It was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com on January 02, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 142.251.208.4, hosted on Google LLC's infrastructure in the US. No SSL certificate was issued, and the observed page title was 'Google'. Nameservers for the domain are ajay.ns.cloudflare.com and phoenix.ns.cloudflare.com. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100 to somaliscan.live.

Users who interacted with somaliscan.live should immediately change any passwords entered on the site, particularly for Google accounts. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all critical services to prevent unauthorized access. Monitor accounts for signs of fraud, such as unexpected login attempts or unauthorized transactions. Report the phishing domain to Google’s abuse team via their reporting form and to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org. Additionally, notify local cybersecurity authorities or consumer protection agencies to aid in broader mitigation efforts.

## 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.
