## 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: 2026-06-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:23:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:46:41 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 08:20:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:42:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:28:32 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-re.xyz, flagged by six vendors on VirusTotal, poses as a financial service site under the guise of 'Re connects risk to capital'. Though currently offline, it previously operated on hosting IP 188.114.96.3. The registrar for this domain is PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, and it utilized an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.

This domain is part of a phishing operation that capitalizes on the rebranding of financial services, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Despite being taken down, its presence on public blocklists such as PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer highlights its malicious intent. The domain's creation date of June 3, 2026, suggests it was intended for future use, indicating a possible preemptive strategy to evade detection.

PhishDestroy identified this domain during its active phase, contributing to its inclusion on public blocklists. The site's takedown mitigates immediate threats, but its initial operation underscores the need for vigilance against similar phishing tactics. The six VirusTotal detections emphasize the domain's malicious nature, reinforcing the importance of early detection systems in identifying and neutralizing threats before they can cause harm.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       ce1a8e612eaab6fd8f054d7413625c5a
TLS cert SHA-256:      3cf21208d518a75c1277a2c54312f5b7a6245727d96584053aeaa73bd7b926aa

## 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.
