## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-27 21:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:31:32 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-08 01:37:19 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:49:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies checkout-tw.com as a potential crypto drainer site, posing a threat to users' cryptocurrency wallets. This domain was flagged due to its suspicious behavior, with 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detecting it as malicious, and it was created on May 18, 2026, through Realtime Register B.V. 

 The site's page title, Trust - Crypto Card, suggests it may be impersonating a legitimate crypto brand, and its IP address, 172.67.185.132, has been linked to other malicious activities. With its Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and presence on 3 security blocklists, it is clear that this site is not trustworthy. 

 If you visited checkout-tw.com, it is essential to take immediate action to protect yourself, such as changing your passwords, monitoring your accounts for suspicious activity, and being cautious of any emails or messages that may be connected to this site, as the unique seed 14f2f5 indicates a high level of risk associated with this domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       58fd2a12f571cafad976ed5feddeeacc
TLS cert SHA-256:      1ba27cfd243be90dbd2e8654bbafb0feac514ec661aaebe64c60accb6a64f96c

## 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.
