## 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 23:27:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Transfer-tws.com, a phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users, is currently offline but has already drawn attention from security vendors. It is flagged by 2 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal and appears on 3 public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The domain was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. and hosted on an IP associated with Cloudflare, Inc.

The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which is often used to lend legitimacy to malicious sites. Despite its offline status, transfer-tws.com had a platform risk score of 68 out of 100, indicating a significant threat level during its active period. The domain was first detected by PhishDestroy on June 20, 2026, shortly after its creation on June 1, 2026.

Phishing domains like transfer-tws.com exploit the time gap between registration and detection by antivirus databases. This window allows them to operate under the radar before security measures catch up. The quick detection and subsequent takedown of this domain highlight the importance of proactive threat intelligence in combating phishing schemes. By listing it on multiple blocklists, organizations aim to prevent future attacks even if the domain resurfaces.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260620-D6643F
Favicon MD5:       fb07d526298f561d5025d544e6059f10
TLS cert SHA-256:      f7fc1a6e2e90511aea52da7bc6994e7686ffc3f737b0157acb5e4d35188ca157

## 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.
