## 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: 2026-06-13 13:38:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies torzon.news as a domain associated with generic phishing, currently offline. This domain was flagged due to its malicious intent, however no specific brand impersonation was detected. 

 The domain torzon.news resolves to IP 104.21.92.234, has an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / E7, and was flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. With a unique seed of 575359, this domain presents a notable threat, considering the elevated risk level and the fact that it was taken offline. 

 As the domain is currently offline, users are advised to exercise caution when encountering similar domains. PhishDestroy recommends verifying the authenticity of websites, especially those with similar URLs, and being cautious of generic phishing attempts. Users should prioritize their online safety by using reputable security software and keeping their systems up to date.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       aaca49a0c015dba7faadf05327cfb6a0
TLS cert SHA-256:      aaa321abad7cbaa90fbd898d430b820ced369e2e7cf9b67fbe0a67ba0249e1ad

## 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.
