## 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: 2026-03-24 00:39:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cryptobridge.online as a generic phishing domain designed to deceive users by mimicking a cryptocurrency wallet connection platform. The domain was registered recently on July 31, 2025, with the intent to impersonate legitimate crypto services and potentially harvest sensitive user credentials. Its classification as a phishing threat stems from its misleading page title "CryptoBridge - Secure Wallet Connection Platform" and activities typical of credential phishing campaigns.

The domain resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.65 and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. Despite only one out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain on VirusTotal, cryptobridge.online appears on four separate security blocklists, indicating emerging recognition of its malicious intent. These technical indicators, combined with its infrastructure and recent creation date, suggest it was set up quickly to facilitate fraudulent operations before being detected and blocked.

Currently, cryptobridge.online is offline and no longer accessible, reflecting a timely takedown response. Although its risk level is assessed as low, users are advised to remain vigilant and avoid any interactions with this domain or similar ones. PhishDestroy recommends reporting any suspicious encounters and ensuring cryptocurrency wallet security by verifying domains carefully before connection attempts.

## 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.
