Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies capitalbaseassets.com as a low-risk brand impersonation targeting the Base brand. Created on January 12, 2025, the domain was likely set up to mimic blockchain-related investment services. Technical analysis shows the domain registered through Dynadot LLC, resolving to IP 198.12.66.123. It appears on one security blocklist, with VirusTotal flagging it by only one out of 95 vendors. Trust scores from Scamadviser and Gridinsoft are extremely low, indicating poor reputation. The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate threat. Users and security teams should remain cautious of similar domains that try to exploit the Base brand for fraud or confusion. Monitoring and blocking this domain is advised until further activity resumes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c038ef4aea8491482ea8cfeabca9e95447f39947b57ba7de4545b02805e2bd52 TLS cert SHA-256: a86fb8cf8b54b8a9f1940dc6718bb74f43dfeb6d4216b3db1a701f45ed8e026b ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/capitalbaseassets.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=capitalbaseassets.com 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.
