## 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: 2026-07-13 00:17:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, by55.vip, is flagged as an active phishing site targeting users with a fraudulent gambling portal. Registered on May 19, 2026, through NameMart Pte. Ltd., it resolves to IP address 168.76.228.167, hosted in Hong Kong under AS137951 (ASLINE LIMITED). The page title, '必赢 · Bwin 中国官方网站,' explicitly claims affiliation with Bwin, a known gambling brand, suggesting an attempt to deceive users seeking the official Chinese platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of nameservers ns1.domainnamedns.com and ns2.domainnamedns.com, common in low-reputation hosting setups. A 301 HTTP redirect is present, which may indicate further redirection to malicious endpoints. The domain holds a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 and appears on at least one security blocklist, with PhishDestroy currently blocking access. While 18 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, the exact nature of the phishing kit or payload remains unconfirmed. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at DNS, proxy, and endpoint levels. Further analysis of the redirect chain and associated infrastructure is recommended to identify linked campaigns or additional compromised assets.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 18/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       02e53b1be741cf4cfcb71bf4c48287db
TLS cert SHA-256:      073c9ebaa277cce98003df8ba1d9ab0e2402aea9cac710135d507d0fcd5e41dd

## 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 (operator 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.
