## 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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-13 06:17:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-13 06:16:17 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-17 00:33:22 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 09:44:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies checker-irys.xyz as a generic phishing domain with high risk, actively targeting users as a crypto drainer. The domain mimics legitimate verification interfaces to trick victims into connecting wallets or entering sensitive data, leading to asset theft. No specific brand impersonation was detected, but the domain's structure and behavior align with drainer kits commonly used in crypto phishing campaigns.

Technical indicators: VirusTotal score is 1/95, with only one security vendor flagging the domain. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, hosted behind Cloudflare (registrar data not disclosed). SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). Creation date and Google Safe Browsing status are not provided, but the domain remains active. Blocklist count is minimal, reflecting low vendor coverage despite high risk.

Current status: active. Response actions include monitoring by security platforms and blocklist submission. Remaining risk is significant due to low detection rates; users may not receive browser warnings. Recommended actions: block the domain at network level, avoid visiting the site, and never connect wallets or enter credentials. Report the domain to Google Safe Browsing and relevant threat intelligence feeds.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-06-13
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 2 feeds

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       49379c5f60cbf141a0c04b3949468256
TLS cert SHA-256:      d915613618f10285c29144a0feab57bba43a2562b03fa5b4d889bca44e718ad2

## 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.
