## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-13 07:52:07 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:55:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has flagged citichain.network as a low-risk phishing domain. Although it is not highly dangerous, users should remain cautious as even low-risk phishing sites can attempt to steal personal information or login credentials. This domain was detected on two separate security blocklists and has been taken offline to prevent further harm.

The phishing mechanism behind citichain.network appears generic and unsophisticated. Visitors might have encountered a placeholder page titled "Just a moment..." before being directed towards fraudulent prompts or data collection attempts. The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolved to the IP address 172.67.215.63. VirusTotal analysis indicated two out of 95 scanning engines flagged this domain, reinforcing the need for vigilance despite its current offline status.

If you visited citichain.network, it is recommended to avoid entering any personal or financial details. Users should run a comprehensive antivirus scan and consider changing passwords if any credentials were submitted. Staying informed about suspicious domains like citichain.network helps protect against phishing threats, and consulting resources such as PhishDestroy can provide timely updates and guidance.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855
TLS cert SHA-256:      b80e1fb58692572a5eb61252badfc97f1353a2646687b8bdf7cd7bc78518e705

## 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.
