## 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: 2026-03-03 02:17:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies deluxetrade.org as a low-risk phishing domain masquerading as a wealth management platform aimed at international investors. The domain sought to deceive users by mimicking legitimate financial services, potentially luring victims into providing sensitive information. Although the overall threat level remains low, vigilance is advised given its fraudulent intent.

The domain was registered recently on March 18, 2024, through Dynadot Inc and resolved to IP address 198.12.66.123. It was detected on one security blocklist and flagged by a VirusTotal scan from one out of ninety-five security vendors, indicating limited but notable suspicion. The page title “Deluxetrade- Wealth Management Platform for International Investors” suggests its strategy to appear credible.

Currently, deluxetrade.org has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of related domains and educating users about the risks of phishing sites posing as financial service providers. Users should avoid clicking on suspicious links and verify the legitimacy of investment platforms before sharing personal information.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3f559c03953bc94ad7cc0025d4608a5f
TLS cert SHA-256:      589c0ae31986176b8b38602574a5bce5e18564646a9c92a43720c96c4733e383

## 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.
