## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

vbucksflow.top — Generic Phishing Investigation

vbucksflow.top is an active domain that was registered on February 15, 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.47.103 and uses the Cloudflare nameservers beth.ns.cloudflare.com and leo.ns.cloudflare.com. As of the report date (July 29, 2026) the domain remains active and appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans have returned 16 positive detections out of 91 analysed security vendors, indicating a high likelihood of malicious activity. The presence of multiple detections across independent scanners aligns with the classification of the domain as a generic phishing threat.

The hosting infrastructure, provided by Cloudflare, obscures the underlying origin server, a common tactic used to evade attribution and to leverage the provider’s global CDN for fast content delivery. No SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page title information are available in the current intelligence set, so the exact surface of the phishing page cannot be described at this time. Because the domain is only a few months old, its rapid appearance on a blocklist and the elevated detection ratio suggest an active campaign targeting users seeking free V‑bucks, a virtual currency commonly associated with the Fortnite game. Although the exact phishing lure has not been captured, the domain name itself – “vbucksflow” – implies an attempt to attract victims looking for discounted or free in‑game credits. The combination of a newly created domain, use of a reputable CDN, and multiple vendor detections is consistent with threat actors leveraging affordable, disposable domain registrations to host short‑lived phishing pages.

No evidence of a compromised legitimate site is present; the infrastructure appears to be stand‑alone. Defenders should block DNS resolution for vbucksflow.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260729-1E1791
Favicon MD5:       195d82e6464344fd0ef2ca0c79879a9f
TLS cert SHA-256:      2728ebea7023d550a6abccd39ba553008694ecc89a6a0b6227363fce94265438

## 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.
