## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: REPORTS FILED. Domain eventually taken down after 2 abuse notice(s).
Reports filed:   2 independent abuse notifications
First report:    2026-03-31 16:53:21 UTC
Latest report:   2026-04-06 16:05:12 UTC
Days since first notice: 30 (eventually taken down)
ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record.
Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report
via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds,
OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent.
Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting
chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a
cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-27 15:53:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain aetherixcore[.]cc has been flagged as a phishing threat. PhishDestroy's automated scanning systems detected multiple risk indicators associated with this domain.
Detection Details
This domain was identified through a combination of automated analysis, community reports, and cross-referencing with global threat intelligence feeds including VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, and 50+ specialized blocklists.
Risk Indicators

- Domain registered on cc TLD
- Domain length: 15 characters
- Registered on a high-risk free TLD commonly used by phishers
- Vt Detected

Stay Safe
Always verify URLs before entering credentials. Use a password manager to avoid typing passwords on fake sites. Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-1774965195-aetherixcore.cc
TLS cert SHA-256:      294f32ec9faed235b35643c7d51795a429067abcc5c95f203bc52ae231fa8e88

## 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.
