Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: AML Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, G-Data, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       Global Domain Group LLC
Nameservers:     ["penny.ns.cloudflare.com", "scott.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-03-23
Page title:      Unlock Finance Success with AMLTestWallet

## 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: 2026-03-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-23 20:09:00 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration)
Last verified:     2026-04-21 16:06:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-25 06:19:15 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: 2026-03-24 01:11:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies crpto.shop as an active generic phishing domain currently under investigation for risk. The domain appears to target users with financial themes, impersonating AMLTestWallet.

The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and shows no detections on VirusTotal scans, indicating it has not yet been flagged by security vendors. The page title "Unlock Finance Success with AMLTestWallet" suggests financial service impersonation tactics.

Users should avoid interacting with crpto.shop and not provide sensitive information. Monitoring and investigation are ongoing to assess the full threat scope. PhishDestroy recommends caution until further updates.

## 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.
