## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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)

Last verified:     2026-04-23 08:03:33 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:31:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies base-recovery.com as a high-risk generic phishing domain. Due to its nature, it poses a significant threat to users by attempting to deceive and steal sensitive information through social engineering tactics.

Supporting evidence includes its presence on three security blocklists and detection in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse. VirusTotal analysis shows that 13 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, reinforcing its malicious intent. The domain was registered through Name.com, Inc. and resolved to IP address 34.111.179.208. Google Safe Browsing specifically categorizes it under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, highlighting its phishing risk. The domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, indicating recent attacker activity.

Currently, base-recovery.com has been taken offline, mitigating immediate risk. Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing this domain and to remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts. Employing updated security tools and checking domain reputations on platforms like PhishDestroy can help prevent compromise stemming from such fraudulent sites.

## 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.
