----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Seclookup
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.235.137.136 (DE, Frankfurt am Main)
ASN:             ASAS59711 HZ-EU-AS HZ Hosting Ltd, BG

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:45:01 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:50:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies demoexc.xyz as a medium-risk phishing domain designed to trick users into sharing sensitive information. Although this domain is now offline, it had been flagged on several security blocklists soon after its creation in early 2026, signaling potential danger for unsuspecting visitors.

This phishing site likely attempted to impersonate legitimate services to deceive users into entering personal credentials or financial details. Such attacks often rely on fake login pages or fraudulent messages that appear authentic, making it crucial to be cautious when encountering unknown domains.

If you have interacted with demoexc.xyz, it is advisable to immediately change any passwords that may have been exposed and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Additionally, running security scans and enabling multi-factor authentication can help prevent further damage. Staying vigilant against such scams is essential to protecting your digital safety.

## 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.
