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.

autorobottrading.com: Fake Google Crypto Scam Site Detected

This domain, autorobottrading.com, poses as a legitimate cryptocurrency trading platform while impersonating a major technology brand. Analysis indicates the site falsely claims to offer automated trading solutions under the guise of a trusted company, potentially tricking users into disclosing sensitive credentials or transferring funds to fraudulent accounts. The page title, 'The Future of Crypto-Profit,' and branding elements are designed to mimic official services, increasing the likelihood of successful deception.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through an undisclosed registrar. It resolves to the IP address 198.12.66.123, hosted on AS36352 in the United States. Detection metrics show 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, with one security blocklist listing it for brand_impersonation. The SSL certificate, classified as R11, further suggests non-standard or potentially suspicious encryption practices.  Users who visited autorobottrading.com should immediately cease all interaction with the site. If credentials or financial information were entered, affected parties should reset passwords for all associated accounts, enable multi-factor authentication where available, and monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect any potential malware or backdoors. Reporting the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities or the impersonated brand’s abuse team can aid in mitigating further risks.

## 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 (operator 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.
