## 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 02:39:07 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 connector3.online as a low-risk crypto drainer domain associated with Angel Drainer malware. The domain was used to illicitly siphon cryptocurrency from victims, posing a threat primarily to users involved in crypto transactions. Although the risk level is classified as low, users should remain vigilant against such fraudulent operations.

The domain, registered via Namecheap on June 12, 2025, resolved to IP address 104.21.13.181. It was detected on five security blocklists and flagged by two security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain hosted a webpage titled "Assistant," which was part of the Angel Drainer kit infrastructure designed to exploit user wallets. These technical indicators highlight the domain’s role in crypto fraud campaigns.

Currently, connector3.online has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining updated security software and avoiding interactions with suspicious crypto-related domains, especially those recently registered or flagged on blocklists. Continuous monitoring of similar domains is advised to prevent future exposure to crypto draining threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       726ab20ca55455373804c2c87b6b6715d5bb82198ab3412bdcabfe91883a24a8

## 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.
