ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:55:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies catcoin-drop.xyz as a low-risk generic phishing domain. It was used to impersonate a cryptocurrency airdrop event, attempting to deceive users into providing sensitive information. Although the overall threat level is low, caution is advised due to its phishing nature.

The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on June 17, 2025. It carried the page title "Yala Season 1 Airdrop" to lure victims. Scamadviser assigned it a very low trust score of 1 out of 100. VirusTotal flagged the domain by 2 out of 95 security vendors, and it appeared on one security blocklist. These indicators suggest some malicious intent and corroborate phishing activity.

Currently, catcoin-drop.xyz is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with any links related to this domain and ensuring that any suspicious emails or messages referencing it are deleted. Users should remain vigilant and verify legitimacy before engaging with airdrop offers or similar cryptocurrency promotions.

## 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.
