## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:36:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified base.holiday as a domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting the Base brand. The domain's page title "Base ∙ Holiday Rewards" suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate Base promotions or services. This case is classified as low-risk due to limited detection and minimal reported impact.

Technical analysis reveals that base.holiday was registered on December 16, 2025, via Name.com, Inc. The domain resolved to IP address 216.150.1.193 and was flagged by only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating very low detection rates. The domain appeared on one security blocklist, which helped in early containment. This infrastructure points to a low-complexity impersonation effort without advanced evasion tactics.

Currently, base.holiday is offline and not serving any malicious content. The swift takedown and limited exposure have mitigated potential user risk. PhishDestroy recommends ongoing monitoring of similar brand-related domains to prevent future impersonation attempts and advises users to verify URLs carefully when engaging with Base-related promotions.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       5a89676052bfbb7d9fe5ef9071935145
TLS cert SHA-256:      f64e73f1852ceecfcd518368cc7cc61855b6d2715f4100623e4d89c88f65c8cb

## 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.
