## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.76.172 (US, San Francisco)

## 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: 2026-03-03 15:54:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies verizon.tqzjd.icu as a medium-risk generic phishing domain. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and has been associated with deceptive activities designed to impersonate legitimate services, likely targeting Verizon customers. It appeared on at least one security blocklist, indicating detection by cybersecurity systems as a potential threat aimed at credential theft or fraud.

The domain was registered through a dead domain registrar, which often signals low legitimacy and a higher likelihood of malicious use. VirusTotal analysis flagged the domain by 5 out of 95 security vendors, confirming suspicions of phishing activity. The domain's structure and naming convention mimic a well-known brand to trick users into trusting the site, a common phishing tactic to harvest sensitive information.

Currently, verizon.tqzjd.icu is offline and no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk to users. However, users and organizations should remain vigilant for similar phishing attempts and avoid interacting with suspicious URLs. It is recommended to keep security software updated, report suspected phishing domains, and verify URLs carefully before entering personal information to prevent falling victim to such scams.

## 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.
