## 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: 2026-05-11 03:47:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cotera.net as an active crypto-phishing domain posing an elevated risk to users. This domain is not a legitimate entity and has been confirmed to engage in deceptive practices targeting cryptocurrency users.

This domain was flagged by 13 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, and appears on 2 security blocklists. Registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, cotera.net resolves to IP 45.129.141.158 and was created on April 03, 2026. Additionally, the domain holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is commonly misused in phishing campaigns to appear legitimate.

Users should avoid interacting with cotera.net entirely due to its confirmed malicious activity. If you have visited this domain or entered any credentials, immediately revoke access to any connected cryptocurrency wallets and run a full security scan on your device. Report the domain to your security provider or relevant platforms such as MetaMask to aid in blocking efforts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260511-D8077C
Favicon MD5:       6d6d371c7a85e15171724bf4ec3aed3a
TLS cert SHA-256:      e6113aced050086ae449205bea923a6e0c1434559a71e2c5bed176935d180b00

## 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.
