## 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: 2026-01-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-29 17:15:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 17:25:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, crypt-e-lux.com, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Ethereum, presenting itself as a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the site uses a page title of 'Buy/Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoin | Spot / Perpetual Trading | UCoin Cryptocurrency Exchange,' closely resembling legitimate exchange interfaces to deceive users. No specific drainer kit has been identified yet, but the domain exhibits characteristics typical of phishing infrastructure designed to harvest credentials or facilitate fraudulent transactions.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 05, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 3.217.33.186. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, indicating no antivirus engines have flagged the domain yet. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status and blocklist counts remain unconfirmed, but the absence of detections does not preclude malicious intent.  The domain remains active and under investigation, with no takedown or sinkholing actions reported. Users are advised to exercise caution, particularly when interacting with links or prompts related to cryptocurrency transactions. Organizations should monitor for connections to 3.217.33.186 and consider blocking the domain at the network level. Given the lack of prior detections, this domain may represent an emerging threat, warranting continued scrutiny and proactive defense measures.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 11/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       4ecc635cd42fa6c2a86bc3e89fa41feb
TLS cert SHA-256:      39b00889f8748fc0884793f3a83f96ceba4c4841b08a4cffdb0e204b184c0b95

## 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.
