## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-04 21:55:07 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-05-17 01:40:10 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-12 00:05:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-05 00:55:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cb-invoice.link as an active crypto drainer domain impersonating invoice payment portals. Security teams observed this domain resolving to IP 188.114.96.3 and issuing an SSL certificate through Google Trust Services. Domain registration via NAMECHEAP INC occurred on May 04, 2026, with no antivirus engines (0/95) currently flagging the threat as of the latest scan.  This domain was flagged due to its clear intent to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets under the guise of invoice processing. Threat actors frequently leverage recently registered domains with valid SSL certificates to bypass browser warnings and build user trust. The absence of detections on VirusTotal indicates a fresh campaign still in its early stages, but the infrastructure (IP, registrar, TLS provider) aligns with known malicious patterns observed in similar drainer operations.  If you visited cb-invoice.link, disconnect any connected wallets immediately and revoke permissions through your wallet’s settings. Do not enter seed phrases or private keys on the site. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and check your transaction history for unauthorized transfers. Use hardware wallets for high-value transactions to minimize exposure to future drainer attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260504-C60110
Favicon MD5:       902bacdcf9631d11935484151497a89e
TLS cert SHA-256:      66367ab8a490c2c8cfde346561c52e89071f4f3accc42ba9a89c4541f70f2938

## 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.
