## 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: 2026-03-03 17:11:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies a-rodrome.gitbook.io as a medium-risk generic phishing domain that was actively used to deceive users. The site was designed to impersonate legitimate services or brands to extract sensitive information such as login credentials or personal data. Due to its phishing nature, users should remain cautious and avoid any engagement with this domain.

The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and was created on February 21, 2026. Technical analysis reveals that it appeared on at least one recognized security blocklist, indicating prior detection by cybersecurity defenses. The use of GitBook's subdomain infrastructure may have been an attempt to leverage a trusted platform to gain user confidence. However, the domain has since been taken offline, reducing the immediate threat it poses.

Currently, a-rodrome.gitbook.io is offline and inaccessible, mitigating active risk. Nonetheless, PhishDestroy recommends users and organizations maintain updated blocklists and implement email and web filtering to prevent potential future phishing attempts from similar domains. Continuous monitoring of domains registered via popular providers like Cloudflare is advised to quickly identify and respond to emerging threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a438a4e073260fcc8ef4463db227800d90eab44bfa4f612ea36a7c2ff690881b

## 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.
