## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Expires:    2026-06-11
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 5056314aabddd92c9256683e172ee1482f2626fdf9a340e7d74397c4a64505a0
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.assetschecker.com

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-07 11:16:54 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-13 09:45:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-17 06:04:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:31:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies assetschecker.com as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain actively targeting users of digital assets. This site masquerades as a legitimate digital asset recovery platform, misleading visitors into trusting it with sensitive information. Due to its active status and appearance on security blocklists, users should approach this domain with caution to avoid potential financial loss.

The phishing mechanism employed by assetschecker.com involves impersonating a legitimate recovery service to extract private keys, passwords, or wallet credentials from unsuspecting victims. Once the attackers gain access to these details, they can drain cryptocurrency wallets, resulting in irreversible asset theft. The domain’s association with suspicious IP addresses and detection by multiple security vendors further underscores its malicious intent.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with assetschecker.com and to never disclose private keys or sensitive account information on unverified platforms. Employing strong, unique passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and using reputable recovery services can mitigate risks. If exposure occurs, immediately transfer assets to secure wallets and report the incident to relevant authorities or cybersecurity platforms like PhishDestroy.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       a2c96ac64d7ee5aef8758131baf3e59c9750b304bd1dc4899b16be8aea9d366d
TLS cert SHA-256:      5056314aabddd92c9256683e172ee1482f2626fdf9a340e7d74397c4a64505a0

## 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.
