## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Namecheap Inc.
Registered:      2026-02-06
Expires:         2027-02-06

## 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: 2026-02-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-20 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-08 14:06:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified dmca-notify.top as a malicious domain designed to impersonate a legitimate brand and trick visitors into handing over sensitive information like usernames, passwords, or financial details. This site poses a serious threat because it mimics trusted entities to appear authentic, increasing the likelihood of credential theft. The domain is now offline, but while active, it could have been used to harvest login credentials from unsuspecting users.

Evidence against dmca-notify.top is substantial. VirusTotal reports that 21 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and Google Safe Browsing specifically lists it for phishing. The domain was created on February 6, 2026, through Namecheap Inc., a common registrar for malicious sites. It also appears on one security blocklist and has been noted in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, confirming its dangerous reputation.

If you visited dmca-notify.top, immediately change any passwords entered on the site and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and report any unauthorized access. Run a full security scan on your devices to ensure no malware was downloaded. Stay vigilant against future phishing attempts by verifying website URLs before entering personal information. PhishDestroy reminds you to always double-check the authenticity of any site requesting credentials.

## 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.
