  - ai-cryptolist.com

## 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: 2025-11-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:40:22 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 03:19:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies alpaca-finance.ai-cryptolist.com as an active crypto drainer domain impersonating Alpaca Finance, a legitimate decentralized finance platform. The threat is classified as a crypto drainer, designed to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets and siphon funds. This domain remains under investigation but is currently active and poses a significant risk to unsuspecting users.  

This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a risk level of under_investigation and is currently active. VirusTotal currently reports 0 detections out of 95 scans, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus engines. The domain is registered through Key-Systems GmbH and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3. It was created on November 05, 2025, and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. No confirmed blocklist presence has been recorded at this time.  

Users should avoid interacting with this domain under any circumstances. To mitigate risks from crypto drainers, always verify official website URLs and never connect wallets to unfamiliar applications. Use hardware wallets for enhanced security and cross-check domains against known legitimate Alpaca Finance platforms. Report any suspicious activity to PhishDestroy for further analysis and community protection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       df514a3d619cf73e361b6a3194d9c80b
TLS cert SHA-256:      a55e43f69843bd3a2028af8ad34a10733d686787f8d6c39032bb29eaa130821c

## 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.
