Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.95.56 (US, San Francisco)

----------------------------------------------------------------
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 08:03:30 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:52:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies based-app.one as a domain associated with generic phishing activities presenting a low risk level. Although not highly aggressive, the domain was flagged for potentially deceptive practices aimed at obtaining users’ sensitive information. Users should remain vigilant as even low-risk phishing sites can contribute to cyber threats.

The domain based-app.one was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. It resolves to the IP address 104.21.95.56 and appears on four security blocklists, indicating multiple sources have recognized suspicious behavior. VirusTotal analysis reports 2 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, which supports a cautious but not critical threat posture. The domain’s page title matches the domain name, which is typical in generic phishing setups.

Currently, based-app.one is offline, mitigating immediate risk to end users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining up-to-date security software and avoiding any interaction with this domain if it reappears online. Users encountering this or similar suspicious domains should report them to relevant security authorities and consult trusted sources before accessing unknown websites.

## 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.
