## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2025-07-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-08 01:37:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-08 00:23:23 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 12:20:42 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:39:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies butrx.org as a domain posing a generic phishing threat, which is currently offline. This domain was flagged as a threat due to its impersonation of a cryptocurrency exchange, specifically targeting users looking to buy TRX with USDT. 

The domain butrx.org was flagged by 6 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, and was registered through Cloudflare, Inc, resolving to the IP address 188.114.96.3, it was created on July 29, 2025, and appears on 3 security blocklists, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services WE1. 

Given its current offline status, users are advised to exercise caution when encountering similar domains, and to verify the authenticity of websites before interacting with them, especially when dealing with financial transactions, as this domain's presence in 4 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses suggests a notable threat level, and its elevated risk level warrants careful consideration to avoid potential security breaches.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       20e4117e295f11d979d7d0342e810c24
TLS cert SHA-256:      e656b5eabb173feb1bfe66602d423d87f4345340c1cb74eaa8fbb1c9fbcb1f18

## 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.
