## 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: 2026-03-24 00:14:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dexberg.net as an active phishing domain primarily targeting cryptocurrency investors. The site masquerades as a legitimate exchange platform, using the page title "Exchange | Cryptocurrency trading and invest platform" to entice users into fraudulent activities. Although classified as a low-risk threat, the domain's intent to deceive users into compromising sensitive financial information is evident.

The domain dexberg.net was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. It is listed on one security blocklist, and VirusTotal analysis shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain, indicating some level of suspicion but limited widespread detection. The website remains active, suggesting ongoing potential risk for users who may be targeted by phishing attempts or other fraudulent schemes related to cryptocurrency trading.

Given its active status and appearance on blocklists, users are strongly advised to avoid engaging with dexberg.net. Investors should verify all cryptocurrency trading platforms carefully and use official sources for transactions. Security teams should consider adding this domain to internal blocklists and employ monitoring to detect any related phishing campaigns. Continuous vigilance is recommended to mitigate possible losses from this phishing threat.

## 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.
