## 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: 2026-03-19 01:52:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies whiskymuseum.at as a high-risk generic phishing domain masquerading as a site offering discounted whiskey products. The domain was registered recently, on February 21, 2026, and uses enticing promotional language to lure victims into divulging sensitive information or engaging with fraudulent offers.

The domain resolves to IP address 78.46.146.14 and appears on two security blocklists, reflecting its recognized malicious activity. VirusTotal analysis shows that 12 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as suspicious or malicious. Additionally, the domain has been referenced in six AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating its involvement in ongoing phishing campaigns. The Gridinsoft trust score rates it very low at 0/100, further confirming its untrustworthy status.

Currently, whiskymuseum.at has been taken offline, mitigating immediate phishing risks. Its offline status suggests active response efforts to disrupt the malicious infrastructure. Users and security practitioners are advised to remain vigilant for potential phishing attempts using similar tactics or domain names and to avoid interacting with any residual or related content.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 12/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       59908ef56f970b5a3536de740655316e
TLS cert SHA-256:      16920f6960817c47bfaee9353b1663e9e769d2429504609c4d134cf2008ba8c6

## 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.
