## INFRASTRUCTURE

Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-03-19 02:18:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified curve-en.finance as a domain impersonating the financial brand Curve. This brand impersonation poses a medium risk, potentially misleading users into divulging sensitive data or engaging with fraudulent content. The domain's deceptive nature makes it a notable threat to those familiar with Curve’s legitimate services.

The domain was registered on July 12, 2025, through OwnRegistrar, Inc. It resolved to the IP address 104.21.88.197 before being taken offline. VirusTotal analysis shows 8 out of 95 security vendors flagged this domain, and it appears on three different security blocklists. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has included it in one threat intelligence pulse. The ScamAdviser trust score is critically low at 1 out of 100, underscoring its untrustworthy status.

Users are advised to avoid visiting curve-en.finance and remain cautious of any communications referencing this domain. If any suspicious activity or requests for personal information are encountered, they should be reported immediately to security teams. Staying informed and skeptical of unsolicited links claiming association with Curve will help mitigate potential risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       4c13d452dd5d49671bd93ca32f2b4f85c78e39b6ab0ad1f38d98ed267f8fd896

## 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.
