## VERDICT

TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-02 11:49:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-17 01:40:12 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-09 01:14:54 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-02 11:49:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies captcha-found.biz as an active crypto drainer posing as a CAPTCHA verification service. The domain is engineered to deceive users into submitting wallet credentials or authorizing malicious transactions under the guise of a CAPTCHA challenge. At present, this domain remains under investigation but exhibits multiple red flags warranting immediate caution.  captcha-found.biz was created on April 29, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance legitimacy. Despite having 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, the domain is already blocked by the OISD security blocklist, indicating recognition within the threat intelligence community. These factors suggest early-stage deployment with potential for rapid escalation if not contained.  To mitigate exposure, security teams should immediately block the domain and IP 188.114.96.3 at the network perimeter. Users should avoid interacting with any CAPTCHA prompts delivered via unsolicited messages or unfamiliar websites. Organizations are advised to inspect DNS logs for resolution attempts to this domain and audit authentication flows for anomalous wallet connection requests. Implementing browser-based or network-level filtering rules referencing the OISD blocklist entry will reduce risk of accidental exposure. Remain vigilant: new CAPTCHA-themed drainers frequently evolve to evade detection.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       16a75c7824b5223b8e22864354e9e33f
TLS cert SHA-256:      e67b1d7c20548b4a49b1b526e1ddba659f25a1d48ca42b09487a5e91edf2a5d2

## 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.
