## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E8
Expires:    2026-08-24
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 2f29b608cfa5d0db76be1d2a377171da981b44c2a703e9ca7cb4ef324e074cbc

## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 15:13:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:16:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain speccy.software indicates a confirmed phishing campaign targeting users seeking hardware diagnostic utilities. The domain, registered on May 26, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., resolves to 104.21.26.174 (AS13335, Cloudflare, Inc., US) and remains active as of July 12, 2026. The page title, 'Speccy — Advanced Hardware Profiler & Live Thermal Tracker,' suggests an attempt to impersonate a legitimate system monitoring tool, though the exact content and delivery mechanism of the phishing payload have not been fully analyzed.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare nameservers (harvey.ns.cloudflare.com, ruth.ns.cloudflare.com) and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (E8), which are common in both legitimate and malicious deployments. Detection data shows the domain is flagged by three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and MetaMask, and appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing its high-risk classification. While only one of ninety-one security vendors on VirusTotal currently flags the domain, this does not diminish its confirmed malicious status, as phishing domains often evade initial detection.  The domain employs multiple technologies, including jsDelivr, HSTS, Google Analytics, and Cloudflare Browser Insights, which may be used to enhance credibility, track victims, or obfuscate malicious activity. The registrar, Spaceship, Inc., has been associated with other high-risk domains, though no direct attribution to a specific threat actor or group is available at this time. Defenders should treat this domain as actively malicious and prioritize blocking or monitoring traffic to 104.21.26.174 and related Cloudflare IP ranges. Further investigation into victim interactions and payload delivery is recommended to determine the full scope of the campaign.

  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       bc96cf041a1f35bad5c831d4cf622e17
TLS cert SHA-256:      2f29b608cfa5d0db76be1d2a377171da981b44c2a703e9ca7cb4ef324e074cbc

## 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.
