Fingerprint: 3611a6de995b56333df07e7dc2ce6f25fd57f41274b9cf86f43033659a61f267

## 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:       2026-07-20 00:23:41 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

Is tristwel.com a generic phishing site?

The domain tristwel.com is currently offline, returning an HTTP 404 response. Infrastructure analysis shows it resolves to IP address 216.150.16.1, which is owned by Vercel, Inc. in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com, indicating the site was hosted on Vercel’s platform. A TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt is present and valid, confirming the site once served HTTPS traffic. Registration records list Name.com, Inc. as the registrar. Threat intelligence indicates the domain appears in three AlienVault OTX pulses and is listed on three public blocklists. It is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, confirming its reputation as a malicious resource. VirusTotal scans show five of ninety‑one security vendors flagged the domain, providing additional corroboration of malicious activity. The domain is classified as a generic phishing site, suggesting it was used to harvest credentials, though no specific landing‑page content or phishing kit details are available because the site is offline. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact phishing campaign tactics and any targeted brands. Defenders should continue to deny DNS resolution and HTTP access to tristwel.com, add the domain to internal blocklists, and monitor for any future re‑registration. Any traffic that does reach the domain should be treated as malicious, and compromised credentials should be investigated and rotated as part of incident response.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3611a6de995b56333df07e7dc2ce6f25fd57f41274b9cf86f43033659a61f267

## 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.
