## 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: 2025-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-23 16:23:30 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-22 08:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:30:04 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:52:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies cryptopunksv2-preview.nfthost.org as a domain that poses a specific threat of brand impersonation, where attackers masquerade as a legitimate entity to deceive users, in this case, Ethereum. 
   
This domain was flagged due to several indicators, including its registration through Cloudflare, Inc. on June 14, 2025, and the fact that 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it, which suggests a potential security risk. Furthermore, it has been taken offline and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, and appears on 3 security blocklists, all of which contribute to its elevated risk level.

If users have visited this domain, they should exercise extreme caution and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as brand impersonation can lead to credential theft or other malicious actions. It is essential to verify the authenticity of any website or service before interacting with it, especially when dealing with cryptocurrencies or other sensitive information, to avoid potential financial losses or security breaches.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7ea7c48d4c4b7268fd381fdcb8ca5074
TLS cert SHA-256:      17ff64b44727d5d75bfe28df6aad5dc626c0f58df744b2ce25b2003c927771ce

## 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.
