## 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: 2026-04-15 06:02:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies alpha-stargate.xyz as an active crypto wallet phishing domain currently propagating fraudulent schemes to steal cryptocurrency credentials.

This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating elevated risk. Registered through Dynadot LLC, it resolves to IP 104.21.65.205 and was created on May 02, 2025. The domain holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may be exploited to enhance phishing credibility. Despite low immediate detection rates, the combination of recent registration and cryptocurrency targeting elevates the threat level.

Current status remains active, with concrete indicators pointing to ongoing phishing campaigns. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of alpha-stargate.xyz at the network and endpoint levels. Users should avoid accessing the domain and verify any received communications purporting to be from crypto wallet services. Organizations are advised to update threat intelligence feeds and conduct employee awareness training focused on cryptocurrency phishing tactics. Monitor for related domains registered around the same timeframe, as threat actors often operate multiple fraudulent sites simultaneously.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-3D3F1D
Favicon MD5:       5ef5367b35398a3d9e10784028e23ff8

## 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.
