## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-12 17:47:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Phishing Warning: tfc.kz Threat Report

tfc.kz is flagged as a high‑risk generic phishing domain as of 12 July 2026. The domain’s creation date is 16 September 2018, and it is registered through the ICPS service of REG.RU. The registrar’s infrastructure is identified as autonomous system AS197695, which maps to a Russian location. The domain carries a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of reputation.

The DNS configuration shows authoritative nameservers ns1.hosting.reg.ru and ns2.hosting.reg.ru. The domain resolves to the IPv6 address 2a00:f940:2:2:1:1:0:113, and the web service presents a valid Let’s Encrypt (R12) TLS certificate. Mail exchange is limited to a single MX record pointing to emx.mail.ru with priority 10, suggesting that the attackers may rely on external mail services for phishing communications.

HTTP requests to the site return status code 200, delivering a landing page whose title is 'Рекламное агентство полного цикла в Алматы | FUTURE |', which describes a full‑cycle advertising agency in Almaty. This content does not align with typical phishing lures, raising the possibility of a compromised legitimate site or a spoofed brand page. VirusTotal analysis shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, and PhishDestroy has already added it to its blocklist, where it appears on a single public blocklist.

At present, the precise phishing payload or credential‑harvesting mechanism remains unknown; no malicious URLs or forms have been publicly disclosed. Defenders should block network connections to the resolved IPv6 address, enforce DNS sinkholing of tfc.kz, and monitor mail traffic for use of the emx.mail.ru MX host. Continuous re‑evaluation of VirusTotal results and inclusion in local blocklists are advised to mitigate potential abuse.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260623-3A7BBA
Favicon MD5:       0a61feb7865d1a301f4b60631b5735e2
TLS cert SHA-256:      d2dfe75ce4314ed18b17ab51f5721d2c26efd8c397689310cfcc096c9864018c

## 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.
