## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      163.181.214.122 (US, San Jose)
ASN:             AS24429 Zhejiang Taobao Network Co.,Ltd
Hosting org:     Alibaba Cloud LLC
Registrar:       Dominet (HK) Limited
Nameservers:     ["ns7.alidns.com", "ns8.alidns.com"]
Registered:      2026-06-07
Page title:      Problem loading page

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R12
Expires:    2026-07-26
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 6456571d49614b1e3883555edc2d45e55273e60cdba3681ba443af8454ae051d
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.craftstudio21.org

## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-07 16:01:57 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-07 14:03:59 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-28 08:46:48 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-23 15:34:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain craftstudio21.org presents as a "Problem loading page," indicating the site is currently inaccessible or has failed to load properly. Based solely on the available data, there is no explicit brand impersonation or scam type identified beyond the page title suggesting a non-functional website. The threat posed by this domain is associated with its classification as malicious by multiple security vendors, with a DOM risk score of 63, indicating a moderate to high risk of hosting harmful content or engaging in malicious activity.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 5 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, and Sophos. It appears on 1 blocklist. The domain is registered with Dominet (HK) Limited and resolves to IP address 163.181.214.122. It uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (R12). The current status is DOWN/OFFLINE, preventing direct analysis of its content.

The domain is currently offline, which limits immediate threat assessment. However, the risk level is elevated due to the moderate DOM risk score of 63 and detection by multiple security vendors. Organizations should block access to this domain and monitor for related activity, as it may be used for future malicious campaigns or redirects.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260607-EC1454
Favicon MD5:       bba09a0bd1501e56f19ee5f7cb187c06
TLS cert SHA-256:      6456571d49614b1e3883555edc2d45e55273e60cdba3681ba443af8454ae051d

## 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.
