## 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: 2026-06-18 16:58:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies dydx.xyz-main.at as a site that poses a significant brand impersonation threat, attempting to deceive users by mimicking the legitimate dydx brand, which can lead to financial loss or sensitive information theft. 

This domain was flagged due to its appearance on 2 security blocklists and being flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a creation date of May 14, 2026, indicating a relatively recent emergence of this threat, and its resolution to the IP address 176.100.42.181. 

If a user visited this site, they should immediately monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity and consider changing their passwords, as this domain has been taken offline but may have already caused harm, and users should remain vigilant in protecting their sensitive information, especially when interacting with financial platforms like dydx, and always verify the authenticity of a website before providing any personal or financial data

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       97a4e73b3183d05ef55f4ba17b17d2c4
TLS cert SHA-256:      8e4ca5e4d7590944030647728be2860e2991639358193f1552a3c6466c0ec40a

## 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 (operator 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.
