## 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 00:36:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy categorizes basepaint.xyz as a low-risk phishing domain primarily associated with generic phishing activities. While the threat level remains subdued, users should still exercise caution when encountering this domain to prevent potential credential compromise or data theft.

This domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 104.21.21.95. It appears on two security blocklists and is flagged by one out of 95 security vendors examined by VirusTotal, signaling some suspicion but limited widespread detection. The Gridinsoft trust score is notably low at 0/100, further underscoring its dubious nature. It is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., suggesting use of common DNS services leveraged in phishing setups.

Currently, basepaint.xyz is active and monitored closely. Users and organizations are advised to block or avoid interactions with this domain as a precautionary measure. Continuous monitoring and the use of updated threat intelligence feeds will aid in mitigating risks related to such persistent low-tier phishing domains.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d59252d317106108efcd353f71d46a69
TLS cert SHA-256:      dd8c746cd84a669c0bc93cb0b4d4cca9bf153b228d62c3ea9bb9d9193b8071ed

## 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.
