## 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: 2026-03-03 15:49:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies claim-payai.network as a medium-risk threat primarily involved in crypto draining activities. Crypto drainers are malicious entities that aim to steal cryptocurrency assets from victims, posing significant financial risks.

The domain was registered through a dead domain registrar and created in February 2026, raising concerns about its legitimacy. It has been flagged by multiple security vendors and appears on four security blocklists, further confirming its association with harmful activities. The domain is currently offline, which limits its immediate threat potential.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with claim-payai.network or any suspicious links related to it. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining updated security software and exercising caution with unsolicited crypto-related offers. The domain's offline status reduces present danger, but vigilance remains essential to prevent future exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2f3fedd7f51e7831e3ec0f159f7cb71e
TLS cert SHA-256:      27ed29ae9804589e17466f90d0ef8b327886dc025ea27bc2e9a0109944a83088

## 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.
