## 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 00:39:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies coinexq.top as an active domain engaged in generic phishing activities. Despite its low-risk classification, the domain attempts to deceive users, potentially to harvest sensitive information or credentials under the guise of cryptocurrency trading, as suggested by the page title 'Futures 3.0'. The domain was created recently, in February 2026, indicating it may be part of a new wave of phishing attempts targeting crypto users.

From an infrastructure perspective, coinexq.top resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and is listed on one security blocklist, signaling some recognition by threat intelligence sources. VirusTotal analysis shows minimal detection, with only 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, which corroborates its low-risk status but does not eliminate potential threat. The domain remains active and accessible, indicating ongoing risk for unsuspecting visitors.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with coinexq.top, especially refraining from submitting any personal or financial details. Organizations and individuals should consider blocking the domain at network level and remain vigilant for potential phishing campaigns linked to this or similar domains. Continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is recommended to preempt further threats as the domain stays operational.

## 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.
