Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / YR1
Expires:    2026-09-14

## 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.

Neutralised:       2026-07-26 12:00:52 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-26 06:54:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

thatwascringe.com — Generic Phishing Investigation

The domain thatwascringe.com is currently active and was registered through NameCheap, Inc., using the authoritative nameservers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. Infrastructure analysis shows the site responds with an HTTP 301 status, indicating a permanent redirect, which is a common technique employed by phishing operators to forward victims to malicious payloads or credential‑harvesting pages. The domain has been flagged by 17 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal, demonstrating a moderate level of consensus among detection engines that the site is suspicious or malicious.

In addition, the domain is listed on a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that at least one anti‑phishing platform has taken definitive action to prevent user access. The public threat classification is recorded as generic phishing, and the risk level is designated high, reflecting the potential for credential theft or other fraudulent activity. While the available data confirms the domain’s registration details, redirect behavior, and detection counts, no information is presently available regarding the hosting IP address, SSL certificate attributes, specific page title, or any observed payload.

Consequently, the full scope of the phishing campaign – such as targeted brands, victim demographics, or employed phishing kits – remains uncertain. Defenders should continue to monitor the domain for changes in hosting or content, enforce blocklist rules that include the listed blocklist entry, and ensure that network‑level filtering solutions incorporate the PhishDestroy block. Organizations using URL filtering should add thatwascringe.com to their deny lists, and incident response teams should treat any traffic to the domain as malicious, isolating potential compromised credentials and investigating related user activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f20b1e156303e49e4420d064f9fd4d36a5c5b2c36e244ee08cc96b3b600d8b08

## 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.
