## 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: 2026-07-06 18:26:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain cryptofinance.vip has been identified as a phishing threat under the threat type of generic phishing, specifically targeting users with a fake login page titled 'WEB3EX'. This indicates an attempt to deceive users into providing sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate service related to cryptocurrency finance.

Evidence from the current investigation reveals that cryptofinance.vip was created on September 19, 2024, and is registered through NAMECHEAP INC. The domain resolves to the IP address 38.180.210.90, which could be used to further trace malicious activity. Notably, a check via VirusTotal shows a detection count of 0 out of 95, indicating that the domain has not yet been flagged in their database. This lack of detection may contribute to its continued operation without immediate scrutiny from cybersecurity monitoring systems.

Users who may have visited cryptofinance.vip are advised to take immediate action to secure their information. It is recommended to change any credentials that may have been entered on this site and to enable two-factor authentication where possible. Users should also monitor their accounts for any unusual activity and consider reporting the incident to their respective security teams. Awareness of the potential for phishing attacks is crucial, especially when dealing with cryptocurrency-related services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0dc89efabbaa3f0591cc54ff705df2ad
TLS cert SHA-256:      a6bfd9dac4291d67b0554fafa95cda1ba03b851d7e1929facd0554eeb3401e97

## 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 (operator 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.
