## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 03:16:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain akio.gate-cryptolist.com is currently under investigation for a generic phishing threat specifically targeting cryptocurrency users through fake login attempts. There is no identified brand impersonation at this stage, but the domain remains active and potentially hazardous.

Analysis shows that akio.gate-cryptolist.com has zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has not yet been flagged by antivirus engines. The domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The registrar details are not specified in the current dataset. No blocklist counts or trust scores are reported at this time, and the domain’s creation date is not provided.

Given the ongoing investigation and the domain’s active status, users are advised to exercise caution and avoid entering credentials or sensitive information. It is recommended to verify this domain’s reputation regularly on PhishDestroy and employ robust security measures such as multi-factor authentication and updated antivirus software to mitigate potential risks associated with crypto phishing attempts.

  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-04-11

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       df514a3d619cf73e361b6a3194d9c80b
TLS cert SHA-256:      aea82de764319597ab29a57dd77f14eb476462fa41da819de7370924e4d24511

## 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.
