## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam
Targeted brand: Base

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      18/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
URLQuery:        2 detections

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      135.125.155.64 (DE, Limburg an der Lahn)
ASN:             AS16276 OVH SAS
Hosting org:     OVH GmbH
Registrar:       Namesilo

!!! 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.

## 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: 2026-03-25 20:00:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies appctopmembersbased.live as a high-risk generic phishing domain designed to steal sensitive user information. This threat is critical as it can lead to financial loss and identity theft.

The domain was registered recently on March 25, 2026, and remains active despite 12 out of 95 security vendors flagging it on VirusTotal. Its infrastructure supports ongoing phishing campaigns targeting unsuspecting users.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain, refrain from entering any personal or financial data, and ensure their security software is up to date. Reporting suspicious activity related to appctopmembersbased.live helps prevent further victimization.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260325-CF51FE
Favicon MD5:       802844ecb302c23bd85c05c689ffd5ac
TLS cert SHA-256:      a6ac919d9239ebe2db407f7e8a2fedf4f18923ffc71aa73bced1c69b22eded91

## 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.
