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: 2026-03-19 01:30:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies autofixedexplorer.co as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users and steal sensitive information. This site masquerades as a legitimate platform, using a misleading page title "Home | Dapps Leading Synthetic Protocol" to lure victims. The domain is relatively new, created in February 2026, and has been flagged by multiple security blocklists, confirming its malicious intent.

This phishing operation works by impersonating a trusted decentralized application (Dapp) service, enticing users to interact with it under false pretenses. Once engaged, victims may be prompted to enter private credentials, wallet keys, or other personal data that attackers can exploit for financial theft or identity fraud. The domain resolves to the IP address 198.12.66.123 and has been reported in threat intelligence feeds, reinforcing the urgency of avoiding any connection.

If you have visited autofixedexplorer.co, immediately cease any interaction with the site. Do not enter any personal or financial information. Run a full security scan on your devices and consider changing passwords or wallet keys associated with the compromised data. Report the incident to your security team or relevant authorities. Staying vigilant and avoiding suspicious domains like autofixedexplorer.co is critical to safeguarding your digital assets.

## 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.
