## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 06:48:37 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 04:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-27 12:11:52 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:55:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

edelfi.xyz has been identified as a generic phishing domain, with security vendors flagging it at a rate of 2 out of 95. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 18, 2026, and resolved to IP address 172.67.163.139. An SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (E7) was used, but the site has now been taken offline.

According to threat intelligence, edelfi.xyz appears in one AlienVault OTX pulse and is listed on three security blocklists. VirusTotal reports 2/95 vendors detecting malicious activity, confirming its phishing nature. The elevated risk level and known intelligence suggest the site was designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information.

Currently, edelfi.xyz is offline and no longer accessible. However, users should remain cautious as similar domains may emerge. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any links to edelfi.xyz and reporting suspicious emails or messages referencing this domain. Monitoring for related domains and educating users on phishing indicators is advised to mitigate future risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f72aea15fa8c68a6e045d0eff70643eb
TLS cert SHA-256:      ea8e80d10ad24f78bc2b9646398d71e7c097bfa00d24f5bd30806a157a14680b

## 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.
