VirusTotal:      9/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

HTTP response:   530

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1

## 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-27 20:13:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-27 17:15:17 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-05-01 04:42:09 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-29 09:27:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-27 20:14:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain chainbit.net has been actively used in a social engineering phishing campaign, as confirmed by PhishDestroy and Google Safe Browsing. This site mimics legitimate branding to trick users into divulging sensitive information, posing a significant risk to visitors. The page title 'Chainbit' and SSL certificate from Google Trust Services are tactics used to appear credible, but the domain was registered through July Name Limited on June 22, 2020, and currently resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95), the site remains unflagged but still active.  This domain was flagged shortly after creation, with Google Safe Browsing identifying it for social engineering tactics. The lack of antivirus detections suggests this threat may be under the radar, but the domain’s age and consistent activity indicate a persistent risk. The registrar, July Name Limited, provides no additional protection, leaving users vulnerable to credential theft or malware delivery.  If you’ve visited chainbit.net, avoid entering any personal or financial details. Disconnect from the network immediately, clear browser cache and cookies, and run a full antivirus scan. Report the domain to your security team or via PhishDestroy’s submission portal to aid in global threat intelligence. Stay vigilant—this site is still active and may evolve to evade detection.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 9/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260427-AA945E
Favicon MD5:       e48a5d5df34c2d1937506b44f161b1bc
TLS cert SHA-256:      10cc99a680a11f33a550911de0ce5c537b09b93e0adb6458d5b481cb44db6626

## 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.
