## 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 16:53:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, wifince.com, posed as a secure cryptocurrency exchange called WiFince, claiming to allow trading of Bitcoin and altcoins. In reality, it was a phishing site designed to steal login credentials and possibly cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting visitors. The site has since been taken offline, but users should remain vigilant.

The investigation revealed that wifince.com was registered on May 21, 2026, through Realtime Register B.V., and was flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It also appeared on one security blocklist and was hosted at IP address 172.67.137.235 with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. These indicators, combined with its generic phishing threat classification and elevated risk level, confirm the site's malicious intent.

If you visited wifince.com or entered any personal information, change your passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized activity and consider running a security scan on your device. For further assistance, consult your cybersecurity provider or local authorities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260521-182510
Favicon MD5:       12d7affab7a117ff94d06e6071406c15
TLS cert SHA-256:      7b6cde9dbc763d8fd9fda028c27b125e68ea38c50edab8e5e8715d488154d2ce

## 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.
