## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Fingerprint: 9dfa2a6039c05ef36b76999513fc605aed6572d83e82863447fb56e7a62e9854

## 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: 2026-07-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-06 14:18:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-14 00:20:46 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-06 15:01:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, defimarketai.io, is currently under investigation for operating as a crypto_drainer, a threat type designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets from victims through deceptive transaction prompts or wallet-draining scripts. The risk level remains unclassified pending further analysis, though its active status and targeted nature warrant immediate caution for users interacting with decentralized finance platforms.  Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 02, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, an entity frequently observed in malicious infrastructure. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which has not yet been flagged on blocklists or security feeds. VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, suggesting evasion techniques or recent deployment. The page title, "DeFiMarketCap | Trusted Insights into Crypto, DeFi & Digital Finance," aligns with common impersonation tactics targeting cryptocurrency users seeking market analytics or yield opportunities.  Mitigation requires strict adherence to transaction verification protocols. Users should avoid connecting wallets to defimarketai.io or any domain presenting unsolicited DeFi analytics. Wallet software should be configured to reject unapproved contract interactions, and hardware wallets should be used for high-value transactions. Network-level blocking of 188.114.97.3 and monitoring for domains registered via NAMECHEAP INC with similar creation timestamps (July 2026) is recommended. If interaction has occurred, revoke all connected dApp permissions immediately and transfer assets to a new wallet address.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cada179351fda2e185fb62c40ec03195
TLS cert SHA-256:      9dfa2a6039c05ef36b76999513fc605aed6572d83e82863447fb56e7a62e9854

## 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.
