## 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 02:39:29 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.lighter-dex.mom as a medium-risk phishing domain designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency trading platforms. The domain's page title references LIT/USDC trading pairs, likely to deceive users into submitting sensitive information under the guise of a crypto exchange interface. The phishing intent is generic but effective, targeting users familiar with decentralized finance.

This domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 172.67.158.74. It currently appears on two separate security blocklists and has a low trust score of 0/100 according to Gridinsoft. VirusTotal detected 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain, indicating some recognition of its malicious intent. These technical details affirm the domain's suspicious infrastructure and risk.

Currently, app.lighter-dex.mom is offline, reducing immediate threat exposure. However, users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any variants or related domains. It is recommended to maintain updated antivirus solutions, report suspicious URLs to security teams, and use browser protections to block phishing attempts. Continuous monitoring of this domain's status is advised to prevent future exploitation.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       927379a3ab9cac7a0f7d5051d029d833
TLS cert SHA-256:      e3e364d923813ecf4c6245858c7f1268a9a6a5cbbd767a9fba4a2f49fff51338

## 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.
