## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:34:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, appscrypto-com.wixstudio.com, is flagged for brand impersonation, specifically targeting the well-known cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com. The page title 'Crypto.com® NFT | Login' suggests that the domain is designed to mislead users into believing they are interacting with an official Crypto.com login page, potentially to steal credentials or personal information.

Analysis indicates that the domain was created on June 08, 2026, and is currently detected by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and uses technologies such as Wix, React, Google Cloud, Lodash, HSTS, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is common for both legitimate and malicious sites. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, further confirming its malicious nature. The domain is currently offline, which may indicate that it has been taken down due to security measures or has completed its intended phishing campaign.

If users have visited this domain, they should immediately check their Crypto.com account for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to change passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already in place. Users should also monitor their financial statements and credit reports for any signs of fraud. Reporting the incident to Crypto.com's support team and the relevant security blocklists is advised to help prevent further incidents and to ensure that the domain remains blocked.

## 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.
