## 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: 2026-03-03 02:16:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aptosearlyadopters.com as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the Aptos brand. Registered recently on September 11, 2024, the domain's page title references 'Zmol Games,' which is unrelated to Aptos, suggesting deceptive intent. Although the domain was active, it was promptly taken offline after detection.

Technical indicators reveal the domain was registered via TUCOWS, INC. and resolves to IP address 185.193.125.133. Despite only one of 95 VirusTotal security engines flagging the domain, it appears on four different security blocklists, emphasizing its suspicious nature. The mismatch between the domain name and page content, combined with brand impersonation tactics, raises concerns about potential phishing or malware distribution.

Currently, aptosearlyadopters.com is offline and inaccessible, mitigating immediate risk. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring for any resurgence and advises users to remain cautious when encountering domains resembling trusted brands. Immediate takedown and blocklist inclusion demonstrate effective response measures, but vigilance remains critical to prevent user exploitation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       d7b46b5733828e436726d5f86397547106800cfbaeaf239b2df811e28a8e179b

## 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.
