## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      13/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-01

## 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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 06:48:22 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-11 03:47:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 14:24:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain sweepauth.ac is flagged for credential theft and is currently offline. This domain impersonates a well-known brand, potentially leading users to enter sensitive information on a fraudulent site. The domain was created on June 01, 2026, and has been identified as a high-risk threat due to its potential to steal user credentials.

Analysis indicates that sweepauth.ac has been flagged by 13 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, which is a significant proportion indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing as a phishing site. The creation date of June 01, 2026, suggests that it was recently registered, possibly for a targeted campaign. The domain has no active IP address as it is currently offline, which may indicate that the threat actors have temporarily ceased operations or are preparing for a new phase of the attack.

Given the current offline status of sweepauth.ac, it is recommended that organizations and individuals remain vigilant and monitor for any signs of the domain coming back online. Security teams should block the domain in their network security policies to prevent any accidental access. Additionally, users should be educated on recognizing phishing attempts and the importance of verifying the authenticity of websites before entering any sensitive information.

## 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.
