## 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: 2024-04-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2025-12-14 01:43:14 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-13 07:51:51 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-15 06:12:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:18:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aventus.network as a medium-risk phishing domain impersonating the Aventus Network blockchain brand. The threat aims to deceive users by mimicking an enterprise-grade blockchain platform.

The domain was created recently on April 12, 2024, and resolved to IP 192.0.78.24. It appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by 4 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. Registered via GoDaddy, it was involved in one AlienVault OTX pulse, indicating suspicious activity.

Currently offline, aventus.network no longer poses an active threat. Users should avoid accessing or submitting data to the domain and rely on verified official blockchain sources to stay safe.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5a9933e343d1ddb7ed5772e63af4f578
TLS cert SHA-256:      430470a3aa40f518915450025a5390bd7eeef5181375049f02de7247e249217c

## 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.
