Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      Velodrome - Finance®®

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:30:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is a confirmed phishing site designed to impersonate Velodrome Finance, a decentralized finance platform. The site likely aims to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials, such as wallet private keys or login details, under the guise of a legitimate financial service. The inclusion of trademark symbols (®®) in the page title suggests an attempt to appear official and gain user trust through visual mimicry of the authentic brand.  Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, an unusual creation date that may reflect either a typo-squatting attempt or a misreported registration timestamp. Security vendors flagged the domain in VirusTotal, with 8 out of 95 engines detecting malicious activity. The site is hosted on Wix infrastructure and employs technologies such as React, Google Cloud, and HTTP/3, which are commonly used in both legitimate and malicious sites. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, providing encrypted connections that may further mislead users into believing the site is secure.  Users who visited this domain should assume their credentials or financial information may have been compromised. Immediately revoke any permissions granted to the site in cryptocurrency wallets or financial applications. Change passwords for any accounts accessed after visiting the domain, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Monitor financial transactions for unauthorized activity and report any suspicious behavior to relevant security teams or incident response platforms. If wallet details were entered, transfer assets to a new secure wallet and audit all connected applications for signs of compromise.

## 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.
