## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      163.61.188.222 (US, New York City)
ASN:             ASAS153568 NEWDHAKAHARDWARE-AS-AP NEW DHAKA HARDWARE, BD
Hosting org:     AS153568 NEW DHAKA HARDWARE
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:34:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies alphaedgemarkets.com as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the Celer brand. The domain was created recently and has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk but warranting attention to its previous activity.

Analysis reveals the domain was registered via NameSilo, LLC on March 13, 2025, and resolves to IP 163.61.188.222. While only one out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged this domain and it has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, it still appears on a security blocklist and holds a ScamAdviser trust score of just 1/100, indicating suspicious behavior. The page title “AlphaEdge Markets - Home” suggests an attempt to mimic Celer, likely to deceive users.

Given the domain is currently offline, immediate threat exposure is low. Users and organizations should continue to monitor for similar domain registrations and avoid interaction with suspicious lookalikes. Employing domain-blocking and brand protection strategies remain recommended to mitigate future impersonation attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cbbe649234e0d98accd45897228f46be
TLS cert SHA-256:      609a73c4bafaa91ea6e5fbef4b86235c68292d6fc2eb0090d538feed23334b6c

## 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.
