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: 2026-06-13 12:29:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies blockex.world as a high-risk generic phishing domain. The domain is currently active and poses a significant threat to users. It is flagged by Google Safe Browsing for phishing, indicating that it is used to deceive visitors into revealing sensitive information.

Technical indicators reinforce this assessment. VirusTotal data shows 22 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, which is associated with Cloudflare, a common reverse proxy used to obfuscate the true hosting location. The domain was registered through Namecheap Inc, a registrar often exploited by malicious actors. Additionally, the domain lacks an SSL certificate, increasing the risk of data interception. It is currently active and has been flagged on multiple blocklists.

To mitigate the threat posed by blockex.world, users should avoid interacting with the domain entirely. Do not click any links or provide personal information. If you have already engaged with the site, change any passwords used on that page immediately and enable two-factor authentication on affected accounts. Report the domain to Google Safe Browsing and your email provider to prevent further exposure. Regularly monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260609-0B4391

## 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.
