## 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: 2026-03-24 00:39:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified client.vaultiptv.com as a domain associated with generic phishing activity, though assessed with a low risk level. The domain’s page title references "Portal Home - VaultIPTV," which may be used to lure users into providing sensitive data by impersonating legitimate IPTV services.

The domain was registered recently on July 2, 2025, through Atak Domain and resolves to IP address 198.12.66.123. It appears on one security blocklist and was flagged by only one out of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The domain’s Gridinsoft trust score is very low at 0/100, reinforcing concerns about its legitimacy.

Currently, client.vaultiptv.com is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding this domain and refraining from entering any credentials or personal information if encountered. Users should remain vigilant and verify IPTV service portals through official channels to prevent falling victim to phishing attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       c4b07931b3fc37bc80d56a367783e7fa7c04ced4befec7f57ed079c38c960400
TLS cert SHA-256:      f6045b211dfe30716c3995abcee4ae6efee7ffc5119b8ef486588b8640619a87

## 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.
