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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 13:33:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 11:34:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 18:19:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eda80-f470-74bc-af66-1417d5521de0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/94fc4d4c-d961-4673-8483-f172a14407a7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cap-reg.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cap-reg.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cap-reg.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cap-reg.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cap-reg.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:27:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above.

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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cap-reg.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cap-reg.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
