## 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: 2026-06-23 09:40:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain topelitesfirm.com is currently offline and presents a moderate security risk. Based on available data, the site's nature is unclear as no page title or brand impersonation information was provided. The threat it poses includes potential malicious activity as indicated by security vendor flags and blocklist entries.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, and Netcraft. It appears on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered on 2026-03-23 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. It is hosted on IP address 198.251.88.6 in the United States, under AS53667 FranTech Solutions. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with identifier YR2. Nameservers include ns1.asurahosting.com, ns1.my-control-panel.com, ns2.asurahosting.com, and ns2.my-contro.

The domain is currently down or offline, indicating it may be inactive or taken down. The DOM risk score is 70, which signifies a high risk level. The combination of multiple vendor flags, blocklist presence, and recent creation date suggests this domain should be treated with caution.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-599780
Favicon MD5:       70d71d01f12093fdc006128f3a0c41b2
TLS cert SHA-256:      a793e59f099c85866c5cd9f71fe3256402fe3bea99ecebd39ec8f664f29dad97

## 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.
