## 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: 2026-05-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-18 19:12:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-18 17:19:59 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 20:20:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Tetonic.finance is actively flagged by 12 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant threat level. The domain is hosted on Amazon infrastructure with IP 54.215.31.113 and was registered through Dynadot Inc. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its ease of access and cost-effectiveness.

The domain first appeared on PhishDestroy's radar on June 18, 2026, shortly after its creation on May 15, 2026. This rapid detection highlights the domain's potential for malicious activity, exploiting the gap between registration and full antivirus database updates. The platform risk score is notably high at 93 out of 100, suggesting a sophisticated operation potentially targeting financial data.

Despite being listed on only one public blocklist, tetonic.finance's presence in PhishDestroy's database underscores its threat level. The abuse score, while moderate at 21, does not diminish the domain's capacity for harm, given its active status and the number of antivirus vendors that have flagged it. The use of Amazon's hosting services and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further complicate detection and mitigation efforts, as these are commonly used by legitimate sites as well.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-BF36B5
TLS cert SHA-256:      23e19da39f4cc1ecae67281c8a1c2d8da8d51ed7642d10e81fe66733bf97907f

## 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.
