## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-12 19:50:37 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:30:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aaproto.top as a medium-risk generic phishing domain. This domain was flagged due to its association with deceptive activities aimed at stealing sensitive information from users. Although not the highest threat level, the risk remains significant enough to warrant caution and monitoring.

aaproto.top was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through 耐思尼克国际集团有限公司. It has appeared on two security blocklists, and 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged it for suspicious behavior. The domain resolves to IP 172.67.177.246, indicating a hosted infrastructure potentially used to perform phishing campaigns. The site’s page title currently returns a "522: Connection timed out" error, indicating unavailability or offline status.

PhishDestroy notes that aaproto.top is currently offline, reducing immediate threat exposure to users. However, given its history and detection on multiple blocklists, users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any links referencing it. Continuous monitoring and network defenses against domains registered via similar channels are recommended to prevent future phishing attempts. Staying informed about such threats supports proactive cybersecurity hygiene.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      9196f37131cefd0209c3248950f8f0b1e35018ec9079f47df1521e44064401eb

## 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.
