## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.163.55 (US, San Francisco)

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 02:30:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bdag.tgeblockdag.network as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the BlockDAG cryptocurrency network. This suspicious website falsely advertises the sale of BDAG coins and mining equipment under BlockDAG’s name, misleading users into believing it is an official platform. The domain’s page title, "Become a Part Of BlockDAG Network | Buy BDAG Coins & Miners," is crafted to lure investors into fraudulent transactions.

Technically, bdag.tgeblockdag.network was registered on February 24, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 172.67.163.55. It appeared on two security blocklists and was detected by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating some recognition of its malicious intent. These indicators, combined with the domain’s mimicry of BlockDAG branding, signal a clear attempt to deceive users and steal funds or credentials through social engineering.

At present, the domain is offline and no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk to users. However, its presence on blocklists and prior detection by multiple security tools underscore the importance of vigilance. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with any communications or websites that mimic BlockDAG and verifying all sources through official channels to protect against similar scams in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       c1644d19e796afdd60ada8145be62e4f338211cdc5f747665187c3b045d058be

## 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.
