## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
STATUS STALE — last probed 30 days ago, treat as ACTIVE until re-verified
Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.48.1 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
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: 2026-03-24 00:38:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies catexfi.com as a generic phishing domain with a low risk level. Although the threat is considered low, phishing sites can lead to credential theft or malware exposure, making vigilance important for internet users.

The domain catexfi.com was registered recently on August 7, 2025, through NameSilo, LLC and resolved to IP 104.21.48.1. It appeared on three security blocklists and was flagged by one out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Currently, the domain is offline and returns a 404 Not Found page, indicating it is no longer hosting active phishing content.

Users should avoid revisiting catexfi.com or clicking any links associated with it. If any credentials were entered previously, updating passwords and monitoring accounts for suspicious activity is advised. Maintaining updated security software and consulting trusted sources like PhishDestroy can help mitigate risks from domains like this.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      459936de602f2d8d912b407e4636c08d3bdc220d422ed2c800a14aa2f7b90624

## 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.
