## 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: 2026-06-22 23:26:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain tge-firelight.finance is a phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. It is taken down, but before its removal, it was flagged by three out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. Public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, have also listed this domain as malicious.

Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and hosted on an IP address managed by Cloudflare, Inc., this domain attempted to exploit cryptocurrency users by mimicking legitimate financial services. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, which may have been used to lend false legitimacy to the site.

PhishDestroy first detected tge-firelight.finance on June 20, 2026, just three days after its creation. This rapid identification underscores the effectiveness of PhishDestroy's monitoring systems in catching threats early, often before they are widely recognized by antivirus databases. The platform risk score of 73 out of 100 highlights the significant threat level this domain posed during its active period.

Although the site is now offline, its brief existence serves as a reminder of the persistent threats in the cryptocurrency space. Users should remain cautious and verify the legitimacy of financial services before engaging with them online.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0
TLS cert SHA-256:      2a18f4918a9b2f301dddfed36e23edba8136fa19cba33e5d2b91f9d2264e616c

## 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.
