## 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: 2026-03-24 00:35:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies arxassetvault.online as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the Ledger cryptocurrency brand. The domain attempted to deceive users by presenting itself as a secure QFS Ledger wallet for crypto and NFTs, potentially aiming to mislead visitors into trusting a fraudulent service.

Supporting evidence shows that arxassetvault.online was registered recently through Global Domain Group LLC and resolved to IP 66.45.248.177. It scored a low trust rating of 28/100 from Scamadviser and appeared on four security blocklists, while only one out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged it. Additionally, its presence in an AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse further indicates suspicious activity. The domain was active for a short time before being taken offline.

Users should remain cautious about similar impersonation attempts and avoid interacting with suspicious Ledger-branded websites. Since arxassetvault.online is currently offline, there is no immediate risk, but vigilance is advised. Always verify official Ledger communications through known channels and never disclose private keys or sensitive credentials to unverified sources.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       ccd17a1235e1396522a400a2554b632f
TLS cert SHA-256:      eee0b45557178252aedf4680f29ac84f9e93b79ea2024c7907312b2cbb1107f3

## 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.
