## 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: 2026-03-19 05:28:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies app-aeve.click as a medium-risk phishing domain aimed at deceiving users and stealing sensitive information. This threat matters because phishing can lead to identity theft and financial loss.

The domain app-aeve.click was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. Registered through Tucows Domains Inc., it has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and appears on six security blocklists. VirusTotal flags it by 3 out of 95 security vendors. The domain has been taken offline to prevent further harm.

Users are advised to avoid accessing app-aeve.click and to never provide personal or financial details on suspicious sites. Always verify URLs carefully and rely on trusted sources when handling sensitive data.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      5e9a182e824faf4a1c9384087ee68a735168170e203bd8b2f8e686ebeacf26b7

## 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.
