## 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 01:18:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified worldfinancebank.world as a high-risk domain that impersonated Mastercard under the guise of "World Finance Bank." Such deceptive sites aim to trick users into trusting fraudulent webpages by mimicking well-known brands, increasing the chances of stealing sensitive information.

This malicious site was registered via HETZNER-RZ-NBG-NET and flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. It also appeared on one security blocklist and was detected by multiple security vendors. By presenting itself as a financial institution linked to Mastercard, the domain attempted to lure victims into divulging personal or financial data.

If you visited worldfinancebank.world, it is crucial to avoid entering any personal details and to scan your devices for malware. Change passwords associated with your financial accounts and monitor your bank statements closely. Staying vigilant against brand impersonation threats like this helps protect your online security.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       909efd0a62bbc415e927346844061afdedd751683b6eba7142b1db3bb72ea18c
TLS cert SHA-256:      a9254fb7aa75031dbc2c6db4ea0e682890da5e6f43667b5326df9d7f6fd0452f

## 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.
