## 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:    2026-06-17 14:19:36 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 20:20:35 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:37:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies 7us96ao.vip as an elevated-risk brand impersonation domain specifically designed to mimic MetaMask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet. This threat type involves tricking users into connecting their wallets or revealing seed phrases, leading to asset theft. The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on November 23, 2025, and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare. VirusTotal data shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists. AlienVault OTX includes it in one threat intelligence pulse, and its SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), lending a false sense of legitimacy. The domain is currently offline, having been taken down.

To protect against such threats, users should verify URLs carefully, especially those claiming to be MetaMask, and always access the official website directly rather than clicking on links from emails or messages. Enable two-factor authentication and never share seed phrases or private keys. Security teams should block the domain and its associated IP across network perimeters and monitor for similar impersonation patterns. PhishDestroy recommends reporting any suspected phishing domains to relevant authorities and updating blocklists proactively.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260617-3107B3
Favicon MD5:       5fed36c7b792be98f66efb6aafce6f53
TLS cert SHA-256:      cd468a6838ebb42f226772247315e68df0975f494c812505960b921b7d63848b

## 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.
