## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Drainer

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     GoGetSSL / GoGetSSL RSA DV CA
Expires:    2026-09-04
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: e4945faddcb16b89139a711135049c58973690d28f84a2a420fa0cc47936918e
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.defiai.vip

## 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: 2024-09-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 18:24:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-14 00:20:46 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 18:56:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, defiai.vip, is identified as an active crypto drainer designed to compromise Web3 wallet credentials and automatically siphon cryptocurrency assets. The threat operates by presenting a fraudulent interface mimicking legitimate decentralized finance platforms, specifically using the page title 'WEB3EX' to deceive users into connecting their wallets. Once connected, malicious smart contract interactions are triggered, enabling unauthorized transactions that transfer funds to attacker-controlled addresses without user consent.  Analysis of the domain infrastructure reveals it was registered on September 19, 2024, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar frequently observed in phishing operations. The domain resolves to the IP address 38.180.210.90, which currently shows 0 detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by detection systems. The SSL certificate is issued by GoGetSSL, a provider commonly used in both legitimate and malicious domains, which does not inherently confirm or refute the domain's legitimacy. No entries were found on major blocklists at the time of this report, suggesting the campaign remains undetected by many security vendors.  Users who have visited defiai.vip or interacted with its content are advised to immediately revoke any wallet connections associated with the domain. All connected wallets should be audited for unauthorized transactions, and remaining funds should be transferred to a new, secure wallet. Browser extensions or applications used during the interaction should be scanned for malware, and any cached data related to the domain should be cleared. Given the stealthy nature of crypto drainers, affected users should monitor their wallet activity for at least 30 days for delayed malicious transactions. No further interaction with the domain or its associated IP address should occur under any circumstances.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0dc89efabbaa3f0591cc54ff705df2ad
TLS cert SHA-256:      e4945faddcb16b89139a711135049c58973690d28f84a2a420fa0cc47936918e

## 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.
