## 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: 2026-05-12 17:20:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies vcniec.xyz as an active credential harvesting domain impersonating a well-known financial institution. This domain has been linked to fraudulent login pages designed to steal user credentials and sensitive financial information. The threat remains active as of the latest analysis, with confirmed infrastructure used in phishing campaigns.

This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and resolves to IP address 172.67.176.237. Registered through Global Domain Group LLC on May 10, 2026, it appears on 1 security blocklist and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Trust scores indicate elevated risk due to recent registration and minimal vendor detection.

PhishDestroy strongly advises organizations and individuals to block vcniec.xyz at the network and DNS levels. Users should avoid accessing this domain and report any related phishing attempts. Implementing email filtering rules to detect similar domains is recommended. Monitor network traffic for connections to 172.67.176.237 and inspect SSL certificates for recently issued Let's Encrypt credentials as potential indicators of compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260512-3CE6C4
Favicon MD5:       0e43c558f89e9c57157f9f41755907a2
TLS cert SHA-256:      ef90d0e85ac304f7e8999ddc21b94c282fa97484e4eaedbf139b6523b504b7ba

## 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.
