## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-02 15:01:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain presents a high-risk generic phishing threat, specifically designed to impersonate the Trust Card Hub brand for credential theft. The page title 'Trust Card Hub | Digital Card' indicates an attempt to harvest login credentials or financial information from users expecting a legitimate digital card service.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was created on June 19, 2026, and registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO. It resolves to IP address 80.78.28.102. VirusTotal data shows 9 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious. The domain remains active and is not currently listed on standard blocklists, increasing its exposure to potential victims.

Mitigation steps specific to this credential theft threat include: block the domain at the network level, implement email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing links to tch-zone.com, and educate users to verify URL legitimacy before entering credentials. Organizations should monitor for anomalous login attempts originating from IPs associated with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260702-C1101B
Favicon MD5:       844381b65d9da918228ee63f7fe5416e
TLS cert SHA-256:      84fed1f01970f8d53c28a466bc7f6603fca3ac0dc841f12ca0d5e43255edc5a6

## 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.
