## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-11 03:30:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-05-17 14:39:25 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-13 00:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-11 04:00:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain exchange[.]base[.]software has been identified as a cryptocurrency phishing website. This malicious site targets Web3 users by mimicking legitimate crypto platforms to steal wallet credentials and digital assets.
Attack Analysis
Phishing sites in the cryptocurrency space commonly employ wallet-draining techniques, fake token approval requests, and seed phrase harvesting to steal digital assets from unsuspecting victims.
Risk Indicators

- Domain registered on software TLD
- Contains cryptocurrency-related keywords
- Domain length: 22 characters

Protection Tips
Always verify URLs before connecting your wallet. Use bookmarks for frequently visited crypto platforms. Enable transaction simulation tools to preview what you're signing.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       e5761dfec59ec15c02ad72894407227f
TLS cert SHA-256:      317827b9157782551a9118acfdf3cc45d9150a3ab7001b7d094bb659c618f5b6

## 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.
