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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:11:13 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.soldex.trade as a high-risk crypto drainer domain, specifically targeting Solana users. The site was designed to drain cryptocurrency by exploiting user trust, posing a severe threat to digital asset security. Users should exercise extreme caution around any content associated with this domain.

Supporting this risk level, the domain was flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and is listed on three security blocklists. It was registered recently on August 31, 2025, through Dynadot LLC, and resolved to IP address 172.67.137.138. Google Safe Browsing categorizes it under social engineering threats, underscoring deceptive tactics. The domain hosted a page titled "Based Sydney Sweeney | Airdrop," likely a lure related to cryptocurrency giveaways. Its use of a Solana drainer kit further confirms the intent to siphon funds from unsuspecting victims.

Currently, based.soldex.trade has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. However, users who interacted with it should verify their wallet security and consider revoking suspicious permissions. Continuous vigilance is advised, as attackers may deploy similar infrastructure with different domains. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding similar domains and monitoring wallet activity closely to prevent financial loss.

## 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.
