## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-07 03:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-07 09:39:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:26:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain zoomsm.us was registered on May 07, 2026 through Spaceship, Inc. and is currently active. It resolves to IP address 66.29.148.146, a US‑based host owned by Namecheap, Inc. The authoritative nameservers are launch1.spaceship.net and launch2.spaceship.net. The site serves an HTTP 200 response with the page title "Index of /" and is protected by a Let’s Encrypt certificate (R13). Infrastructure analysis shows a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating maximal suspicion. The domain is classified as a high‑risk brand impersonation campaign targeting Zoom, and it appears on three security blocklists and one AlienVault OTX pulse. VirusTotal scans report four detections out of ninety‑one vendors. Although the exact content of the page has not been publicly disclosed, the observable indicators suggest deliberate misuse of the Zoom brand. Defenders should block the domain and its associated IP, monitor for related activity, and incorporate the listed indicators into detection rules.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       90229c0feb7d2ef63087d0f5ca245e90
TLS cert SHA-256:      f1dcee7138525571cd41b645ca21236d328c8908e3fc1d7d485ded4a38d2a14d

## 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 (operator 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.
