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: 2026-03-19 05:21:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies evercrestgems.com as a medium-risk phishing domain that was recently taken offline. Phishing sites like this one pose a danger because they attempt to trick users into revealing sensitive information such as passwords, credit card numbers, or personal details. Although this domain presented itself as a legitimate business with the page title "Ever Crest Gems - Home," it was flagged due to suspicious activity and its inclusion on a security blocklist.

The phishing technique employed by evercrestgems.com likely involved impersonation or fake offers designed to lure visitors into submitting confidential data. The domain was created on August 13, 2025, registered through Cosmotown, Inc., and resolved to the IP address 198.12.66.123. VirusTotal reports that 4 out of 95 security vendors detected malicious behavior, indicating some consensus about its threat. Once taken offline, the domain no longer resolves, but users who accessed it before should remain cautious.

If you have visited evercrestgems.com, PhishDestroy advises monitoring your accounts closely for unusual activity and changing any passwords that might have been entered on the site. Avoid clicking on any suspicious links or providing personal information to unknown sources. Employing updated antivirus software and enabling multi-factor authentication on your accounts can further reduce the risk of compromise following exposure to phishing attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       f3c4d66c06e20430a6b36de623460e63d5649768451fb786662ea95607741ac6

## 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.
