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 01:46:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dcceq.com as a malicious phishing domain posing a significant risk to users, especially those involved in cryptocurrency transactions. This site impersonated a legitimate USDC-related service to deceive visitors into revealing sensitive information such as login credentials or private keys. Despite being taken offline, dcceq.com was flagged on multiple security blocklists and detected by several antivirus tools, highlighting its threat level.

The phishing campaign used by dcceq.com relied on mimicking familiar cryptocurrency platforms to create a false sense of security. Visitors were likely prompted to enter confidential data under the guise of managing USDC tokens, which attackers could then exploit to steal funds or commit identity theft. The domain was registered recently and hosted on IP 104.21.1.239, further suggesting it was created for malicious intents. Such scams commonly use urgent messaging and authentic-looking interfaces to lure victims into quick action without verifying legitimacy.

If you have visited dcceq.com, it is critical to immediately cease any interaction with the site and check for any compromised accounts or unauthorized transactions. Change passwords for any crypto wallets or exchange accounts you accessed around that time, and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Running a full security scan on your device and monitoring your financial statements can help detect further risks. Always verify URLs carefully and rely on official sources when dealing with cryptocurrency services to avoid falling victim to similar phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       d138696a87cc615987fa976a897999fec9ee2f9dd59b34772cc1ffa934675949

## 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.
