## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-14
HTTP response:   502

## 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-07-14 08:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-14 18:10:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 21:09:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, accounts.knuczx.icu, is identified as a high-risk credential phishing site designed to steal user login credentials. The site mimics legitimate account login pages, tricking users into entering their usernames and passwords, which are then harvested by threat actors.

Analysis indicates that accounts.knuczx.icu has been flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it is marked under the category of SOCIAL_ENGINEERING by Google Safe Browsing. The domain is registered with a generic registrar and was created on an unknown date. It currently appears on one security blocklist and has been taken offline by PhishDestroy.

If users have visited accounts.knuczx.icu, they should immediately change their passwords for any accounts they used on the site. Additionally, users are advised to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all critical accounts and monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity. It is also recommended to use a reputable password manager to avoid falling victim to similar phishing attacks.

## 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 (operator 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.
