## 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: 2026-06-18 16:45:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain poses a significant threat as it is designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information, which can lead to severe consequences such as financial loss or identity theft. PhishDestroy identifies that telegram-auth.online was created on May 28, 2026, through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC, and has been flagged by 3 security vendors out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating a potential risk to users who may stumble upon it. 

 The fact that this domain has been taken offline suggests that efforts are being made to mitigate its impact, but it is still crucial for users to remain vigilant, especially if they have visited the site in the past, as they should monitor their accounts and report any suspicious activity immediately. 

 If a user has visited telegram-auth.online, they should take immediate action to protect themselves, such as changing passwords and checking for any unauthorized transactions, as the site's generic phishing nature makes it difficult to determine the exact scope of the threat, and with 3 security blocklists flagging this domain, the risk level is considered elevated, prompting users to be cautious when dealing with similar domains in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260530-9FBDB0
TLS cert SHA-256:      7d15d9493371b9f1f59279f8eb1c9605aa5bd35a03853ba82f653f244285eefc

## 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.
