## 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: 2026-03-05 03:46:51 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.dao1.ai as an active phishing threat, categorized under generic phishing. This domain poses a medium risk to users due to its potential to deceive individuals into sharing sensitive information. Phishing attacks can lead to financial loss and identity theft, making it crucial for users to remain vigilant when dealing with unknown domains like this one.

The domain app.dao1.ai was created on February 21, 2026, and is currently still active. It has been spotted on one security blocklist, suggesting that it has been reported for suspicious behavior. The relatively recent creation date raises concerns about the intent behind its establishment, as many phishing domains are set up quickly to exploit unsuspecting victims.

Users are advised to exercise extreme caution regarding app.dao1.ai. It is recommended to avoid clicking on any links or providing personal information associated with this domain. For enhanced online safety, users should utilize anti-phishing tools and stay informed about the latest threats to protect themselves from potential scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3860a99769ce6b8e3ee15546fe20bbc4
TLS cert SHA-256:      805cbeac6996afefc712ada229b31c662aa0daac5c62e9d33838cd25e810339a

## 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.
