## 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: 2026-06-22 23:06:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

aftermeth.finance emerges as a cryptocurrency phishing threat with a notable presence on public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, ScamSniffer, and Enkrypt. Despite its recent creation in July 2025, it has already been detected by PhishDestroy as of June 2026. The domain is flagged by 4 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a growing recognition of its malicious nature.

Registered through Dynadot Inc and hosted on Amazon's infrastructure in the US, aftermeth.finance leverages Let's Encrypt for SSL certification. This setup is common among phishing domains aiming to appear legitimate. The platform risk score of 78 out of 100 further underscores its threat level, while an abuse score of 21 out of 100 suggests active malicious activity.

The domain's active status and its inclusion in multiple blocklists highlight its ongoing threat to users, particularly those involved in cryptocurrency transactions. The combination of its hosting on a reputable infrastructure and use of legitimate SSL certification can deceive users into trusting the site, making it a potent tool for cybercriminals. As it stands, aftermeth.finance exemplifies the sophisticated tactics employed in modern phishing schemes, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and awareness.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-09E2B6
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      691978136064aa5f640515c6a5d514b82897fbedc86e27864107681bb84866f7

## 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.
