## 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-21 05:44:24 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 16:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-21 12:30:20 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:02:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain appid.wang is flagged by 12 out of 95 vendors on VirusTotal for malicious activity. It impersonates Apple, aiming to deceive users into entering their credentials on a fake 'Manage your Apple Account' page. Although the site is currently offline, it managed to evade detection for a short period, exploiting the initial window of vulnerability before antivirus databases updated their lists.

PhishDestroy identified this domain on June 21, 2026, just two days after its creation. This rapid detection underscores the efficiency of PhishDestroy's monitoring systems, which operate upstream of traditional antivirus vendors. The site was hosted on an IP associated with Cloudflare, Inc., a common choice for malicious actors seeking to mask their true hosting origins.

The domain was registered through Dominet (HK) Limited and used an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, adding a veneer of legitimacy. Despite its takedown, the domain had already been added to public blocklists by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The platform risk score of 90 out of 100 reflects the high threat level posed by this operation. Such phishing domains typically target users by mimicking trusted brands, and appid.wang is a prime example of this tactic.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260621-84E91E
Favicon MD5:       310fd67d702063937e39c17b2060067f
TLS cert SHA-256:      0c9af435db22733ce090010c8d784b4deaf5591178b285c05159896430c432c3

## 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.
