## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      66.33.22.2 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS400940 Railway
Hosting org:     AS400940 Railway
Registrar:       Cloudflare, Inc.
Nameservers:     ["gordon.ns.cloudflare.com", "romina.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-03-10
Page title:      Planet Titan

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-06-09
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: f7f4156a7c684cdb1057ffba9e56ace6119f92b33fe273336d200cb58a3ce09a

## 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: 2026-03-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-10 21:52:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-10 18:58:15 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-12 19:40:27 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-15 06:14:17 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-10 22:10:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

taker.network is currently classified as an active generic phishing threat with a risk level under investigation. Despite no confirmed detections from antivirus engines, caution is advised due to suspicious behavior and ongoing monitoring.

The domain resolves to IP 66.33.22.2 and hosts a webpage titled "Planet Titan." VirusTotal scans reveal zero flags from 95 security vendors, indicating no immediate signature-based detection. However, the domain's recent registration and unknown reputation suggest potential for phishing attempts, warranting further scrutiny.

PhishDestroy recommends vigilance when interacting with taker.network, as investigations continue. Users should avoid submitting sensitive information on this site until the threat status is clarified. The domain remains active and under observation for evolving phishing tactics.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260310-060970
Favicon MD5:       1e84352325fba1f7448739e225db4bd5
TLS cert SHA-256:      f7f4156a7c684cdb1057ffba9e56ace6119f92b33fe273336d200cb58a3ce09a

## 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.
