## 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.

defi-mining.org Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report details the technical threat assessment for the domain defi-mining.org. The site, titled "DeFi-ETH," is classified as a cryptocurrency scam. The threat it poses is the operation of a fraudulent decentralized finance or Ethereum mining scheme, likely designed to deceive users into connecting their wallets or providing credentials, resulting in cryptocurrency theft.

Technical analysis reveals the domain is flagged by 9 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It was created on 2025-10-08 and registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. The site resolves to IP address 2606:4700:3035::ac43:aa96, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the United States. It uses SSL certificates from Google Trust Services / WE1 and nameservers anita.ns.cloudflare.com and jeremy.ns.cloudflare.com.

The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. Risk level is critical, with a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100 and a ScamAdviser trust score of 1/100. The site is blacklisted on 2 blocklists. Immediate avoidance and blocking of the domain are recommended.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      5f13fcceb76841fd1ce4754dbd385da33abe706dd9dab62f4ac2fb810bc8dedb

## 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 (operator 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.
