Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.12.54 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:19:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-06 05:54:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 16:43:12 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:23:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies crypto-world.online as a high-risk phishing domain. Registered on February 21, 2026, this domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency services. It falls under the generic phishing category, attempting to trick victims into disclosing sensitive data such as login credentials or financial information.

Technical analysis reveals that crypto-world.online was flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant detection rate. The domain was registered through a now-defunct registrar and appears on at least one security blocklist, further confirming its malicious intent. The infrastructure shows no signs of legitimate use and aligns with typical phishing setups, lacking proper authentication or secure certificates.

Currently, crypto-world.online is offline and no longer accessible, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant and avoid visiting this domain or providing any personal details if encountered. Continuous monitoring is advised as phishing actors often re-register domains or use similar ones to resume attacks.

## 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.
