## 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: 2025-09-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:23:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy classifies syncfi.online as a medium-risk phishing domain. Although it is currently offline, users should remain cautious as the site previously posed a threat of credential theft and fraud. The medium risk level reflects the potential harm associated with its past activity and existing security flags.

The domain was registered recently through Global Domain Group LLC and has been placed on seven security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that multiple security vendors flagged the domain, reinforcing its suspicious nature. It resolves to the IP address 195.20.18.201, which may be linked to other malicious activity. The domain's brief lifespan and registration details align with common phishing infrastructure patterns.

To mitigate risks, users should avoid visiting syncfi.online or providing any personal information if encountered during web browsing. Organizations are advised to keep their threat intelligence updated and block this domain proactively. Employing robust email and web filters will help prevent exposure to phishing attempts originating from similar domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       f983843d60b5fcbc5726651ff5c758fd2fc3b8efc1e0f7903d8d8245a62ddddf
TLS cert SHA-256:      b230045ac864a6e98bca5a7dd7ed27869fb0003275a24fe77ce6c5f603ae7fff

## 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.
