## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R13
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

altay.exchange Safety Check — Phishing Detected

This domain, altay.exchange, is flagged as a fake exchange phishing threat. Registered on February 21, 2026, through Domain Science Kutatási Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság, it is currently active and resolves to IP 185.213.211.66, hosted by NovoServe B.V. in the Netherlands (AS204601). The domain uses nameservers ns1.dns-redirect.com and ns2.dns-redirect.com, and employs Nginx with OpenResty. While VirusTotal scanned it with 93 vendors and currently shows no detections, this absence of flags is not indicative of safety, and the domain appears on one security blocklist. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100, and PhishDestroy has blocked it. The page title is simply altay.exchange, and the site redirects with HTTP status 301. Defenders should treat this domain as suspicious due to its classification as a fake exchange, its low trust score, and its presence on a blocklist. Monitoring for changes in IP, nameservers, or content is recommended, and access should be restricted until further analysis confirms its intent.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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 (operator 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.
