## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-15 16:41:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cexchsg.com as an active social engineering drainer kit domain involved in phishing campaigns, currently under investigation for malicious intent. The domain was created on April 13, 2026, and resolves to IP 104.21.67.230 while using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. No specific brand or drainer kit has been attributed to this domain yet, but its configuration and behavior align with known malicious drainer kit infrastructure.  This domain exhibits multiple red flags with a VirusTotal detection score of 0/95, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus engines at this time. It is registered through Dynadot Inc, and Google Safe Browsing has flagged it explicitly for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, though it has not yet been added to major blocklists. The domain’s recent creation date suggests a likely opportunistic campaign targeting unsuspecting users.  As of now, cexchsg.com remains active and has not been universally blocked, presenting a moderate risk to users who may encounter it. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain, and users should avoid interaction until further investigation concludes. Remaining risk is classified as under investigation pending deeper forensic analysis and potential takedown efforts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-21104B
Favicon MD5:       79a580f05dade98a8e27204dbf962dc0
TLS cert SHA-256:      56665b65efcfd09b07afe86209bd243bae7321246d573cc848d4694921df345b

## 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.
