## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)

Registrar:       GNAME.COM PTE. LTD.
Registered:      2026-04-23
Expires:         2027-04-23

## 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: 2026-06-18 16:41:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain vodafaone.shop has been identified as a high-risk generic phishing site that impersonates the telecommunications brand Vodafone. This fraudulent domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with an official Vodafone service, likely to harvest login credentials or other sensitive personal information. No specific crypto drainer kit has been associated with this activity, but the threat remains significant due to its active status and brand impersonation tactics.

Technical analysis reveals that vodafaone.shop was created on April 23, 2026, and registered through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. VirusTotal data shows 6 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, and it appears on 1 security blocklist. AlienVault OTX has recorded this domain in 4 threat intelligence pulses, indicating ongoing monitoring by the cybersecurity community. Google Safe Browsing status is not explicitly stated, but the domain's active status implies continued risk.

As of this advisory, vodafaone.shop remains active and accessible, posing an ongoing threat to users. It is strongly recommended that organizations block access to this domain at the network level and educate users about the risks of unsolicited communications claiming to be from Vodafone. Users who have already interacted with the site should change their passwords immediately and monitor accounts for suspicious activity. While the domain is flagged by multiple sources, its continued availability underscores the need for vigilance and proactive security measures.

## 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.
