Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - vercel.app

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:07:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies bittensor-hub.vercel.app as a medium-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users and harvest sensitive information. The domain has been associated with generic phishing tactics, potentially targeting users under the guise of legitimate services related to the 'bittensor' brand. Its purpose appears to be credential theft or fraud, posing a security threat to unsuspecting individuals.

The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc and hosted on the Vercel platform. VirusTotal analysis shows it was flagged by a minority of security vendors, and it appears on two separate security blocklists, indicating emerging detection of its malicious activity. The use of a reputable hosting service like Vercel suggests attackers leveraged convenient infrastructure to quickly deploy their phishing pages.

Currently, the domain is offline, possibly due to takedown efforts or hosting provider intervention. Users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with URLs resembling bittensor-hub.vercel.app. Organizations should ensure their security filters incorporate this domain to prevent accidental access, and monitor related domains for new phishing attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
