## 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: 2026-06-22 23:08:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

darkmatter-mirror-link.cc impersonates the Darkmatter Market, a known darknet marketplace, to conduct phishing operations. The domain has been flagged by four out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating its malicious intent. PhishDestroy detected this site on May 20, 2026, and it is currently offline, reducing immediate risk.

Registered with DYNADOT LLC and hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., the domain uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. This setup suggests an attempt to appear legitimate and secure to potential victims. The domain's platform risk score is 56 out of 100, which highlights a moderate risk level associated with its activities.

Despite its offline status, darkmatter-mirror-link.cc's existence underscores the ongoing threat of phishing sites targeting darknet market users. These sites often exploit users seeking access to illicit goods and services, leveraging the anonymity of such platforms. The detection by PhishDestroy and its inclusion in a public blocklist demonstrate effective threat intelligence efforts in identifying and mitigating such risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260520-A480B1
Favicon MD5:       a70b8873d3c172ee7d2e543e89851f9e
TLS cert SHA-256:      0d4e47deaa59b03df6a5993fd31839548431aef66ec4d65cfc11b5f2a5184ea0

## 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.
