================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-23 17:47:30 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dmca-strike.team/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      14/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.
Registered:      2026-01-28
Expires:         2027-01-28

## 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: 2026-01-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-01 23:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-08 14:45:30 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:42:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dmca-strike.team as a domain posing a significant threat to users, specifically through copyright infringement phishing scams, where attackers deceive victims into divulging sensitive information by falsely claiming copyright violations. 
   
This domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on January 28, 2026, indicating a relatively recent creation, and it appears on 1 security blocklist, further solidifying its malicious nature, as Google Safe Browsing also flags it for phishing, and it is found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX.

If users have visited this domain, they should immediately take action to protect themselves, including changing passwords, monitoring their accounts for suspicious activity, and running a full system scan with an anti-virus program to detect and remove any potential malware that may have been installed during the visit, as the risk level associated with this domain is high, and the fact that it is currently offline does not negate the potential damage that may have already been done.

## 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.
