## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-06-19

  - gitbook.io

## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-08 11:13:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-10 13:40:03 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-08 19:17:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-08 11:14:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This advisory analyzes aauth--ww--sso-crypto.gitbook.io, an active crypto drainer posing as an SSO authentication portal. The domain leverages GitBook’s legitimate infrastructure to host fraudulent login forms that siphon cryptocurrency wallet credentials and private keys. Threat actors behind this campaign target users expecting SSO workflows, redirecting them to malicious drainer scripts under the guise of “crypto wallet authentication.” Historical data suggests this infrastructure has been operational since at least 2014, indicating long-term abuse potential.

PhishDestroy’s forensic review reveals exact technical indicators: the domain is flagged by 15 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, resides under Cloudflare’s registrar, and resolves to IP 172.64.147.209. Registered on March 30, 2014, it benefits from a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, lending false legitimacy. The domain appears on a single OpenPhish blocklist and remains undetected by Google Safe Browsing as of current scans. These attributes underscore its evasive design, blending with benign GitBook subdomains while hosting malicious payloads.

Current status is active and elevated, with no known takedown by Cloudflare. Immediate response includes DNS-level blocking via OpenPhish feeds and local firewall rules targeting 172.64.147.209. Remaining risk persists due to Cloudflare’s widespread CDN usage and GitBook’s legitimate domain reputation, allowing continued low-detection phishing campaigns. Users are strongly advised to verify URLs via PhishDestroy before entering credentials or wallet access prompts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       ac370904f5d0c1128ee75569005bd2ab
TLS cert SHA-256:      e4c88edd4daf02e90c07844abf2ae51ff5c2e9f05f3f9cb09c27fc9ea634fa42

## 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.
