## 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: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-14 12:48:49 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 08:20:33 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-21 03:52:08 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-07-14 12:20:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

stearncommunity.com credential harvesting site

Analysis indicates that the domain stearncommunity.com was registered on 2026-06-04 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. The zone is delegated to Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers bart.ns.cloudflare.com and hazel.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3. The short registration window and immediate activation are consistent with a newly-launched phishing infrastructure. The domain is currently flagged as a generic_phishing site and remains active as of the 2026-07-14 observation. No additional metadata such as page content, brand targeting, or malware kit has been disclosed, leaving the exact phishing vector and victim profile unknown. Defensive teams should add stearncommunity.com to blocklists for inbound and outbound traffic, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and enforce URL filtering for the Cloudflare name servers. Continuous observation is advised to capture any future payload drops or credential-harvesting pages that may appear under this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260714-8E80BB
Favicon MD5:       231913fdebabcbe65f4b0052372bde56
TLS cert SHA-256:      5733cb99396ce4c09e4f8ea438fa574480a003dfcc8e8d098466155bcaebff2a

## 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.
