================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-01 18:57:18 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/crystallfin.space/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 55/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
AlienVault OTX:  2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.
Registered:      2026-05-26
Expires:         2027-05-26

## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-15 14:30:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 14:32:08 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:26:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain crystallfin.space is currently under investigation for generic phishing activity targeting financial service users. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate financial portals, though the specific brand impersonated remains unconfirmed. The domain remains active and continues to pose a potential threat to unsuspecting visitors seeking banking or investment-related services.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 26, 2026, through NameCheap, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with newly observed phishing campaigns. As of the latest assessment, crystallfin.space has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, though it appears on one external blocklist maintained by PhishDestroy. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers have been publicly disclosed at this time, limiting further network-based attribution.  The domain remains active, with no signs of takedown or mitigation efforts. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to crystallfin.space in network logs and consider blocking the domain at the DNS or proxy level. End users should be cautioned against entering credentials or financial details on the site, and organizations are encouraged to report any observed phishing attempts linked to this infrastructure for further analysis.

## 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.
