## 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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-22 21:20:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-24 20:20:38 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-23 00:01:45 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 22:58:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

cryptomasters.io presents itself as a trading tool site, specifically promoting a 'SOL Sniper Bot' for automated trading. This domain is particularly concerning due to its recent creation on April 22, 2026, and its detection by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026, well before it appears in any antivirus databases. With 0 detections on VirusTotal, it highlights the critical period where phishing domains can operate undetected by traditional security measures.

The domain is registered with Immaterialism Limited and hosted on IP address 188.114.97.3. The lack of VirusTotal detections is not indicative of safety but rather underscores its freshness and the time-sensitive nature of its threat. Phishing domains like cryptomasters.io exploit the 24-72 hour window between registration and antivirus database updates, allowing them to target unsuspecting users effectively.

By masquerading as a legitimate trading tool, cryptomasters.io aims to deceive users into trusting its services, potentially leading to compromised personal and financial information. The early detection by PhishDestroy is crucial in identifying and mitigating such threats before they can cause significant harm. This case exemplifies the importance of advanced threat intelligence in preemptively identifying phishing domains during their most vulnerable phase.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       56c006a5072e552492001841a9109e6e
TLS cert SHA-256:      6c0839d60c23f75e7ce2e992d81c3e7e01f35e62fba38281fc12a53513f51848

## 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.
