## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:19:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-08 19:41:51 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-30 18:17:29 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 14:50:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as a high-risk phishing infrastructure specifically targeting users of darknet marketplaces. Analysis indicates the site impersonates legitimate darknet trading platforms under the name DarkMatter Market, presenting itself as a secure marketplace while harvesting credentials and financial data from unsuspecting victims.  Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of malicious activity. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc on June 08, 2026. Security vendors have flagged the domain in 5 out of 95 VirusTotal scans, while it appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the identifier WE1, which may provide a false sense of security to end users.  Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP address at the network perimeter. Organizations should implement strict access controls to darknet-related content and deploy advanced threat detection systems capable of identifying phishing infrastructure impersonating marketplace platforms. End users should be educated about the risks of darknet marketplaces and the prevalence of credential harvesting sites, with particular emphasis on verifying domain registration dates and SSL certificate issuers before entering sensitive information. Network administrators should monitor for connections to 188.114.97.3 and investigate any systems that have established communication with this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       2ff4cc9512ce55fea3206fadf5a30c3d
TLS cert SHA-256:      c1c8c4d86dd97c3e4a3354c85695648d7bae869e0ec24aa8876ab7f37f8e74ab

## 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.
