## 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

First reported:    2026-06-30 21:33:37 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-30 19:46:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain 18923.xyz has been identified as a high-risk generic phishing threat. It is currently active and does not seem to involve any notable brands or specific drain kits at this time. The nature of the threat indicates potential attempts to deceive users into providing sensitive information through fraudulent means, consistent with typical phishing schemes.

Technical indicators for this domain include a VirusTotal score of 16 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. The domain is registered with GMO Internet, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 103.27.177.164. It was created on June 10, 2026. As of now, it has not been detected by Google Safe Browsing, although it is crucial to note the presence of ongoing concerns surrounding its legitimacy. The blocklist count indicates 16 security vendors are actively monitoring this domain for potential threats.

Currently, 18923.xyz remains active and poses a significant risk for phishing attacks. Immediate response actions should include blocking access to the domain in all organizational systems to mitigate exposure. Continuous monitoring of this domain is recommended to assess any changes in its status or tactics employed by its operators. The risk remains high due to its ongoing operation and the speed with which phishing threats can evolve.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260630-199437
TLS cert SHA-256:      aae87597bace5b767826143ec8cb4ca9a571ec528f91de3b93e6629b275205c7

## 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.
