## 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: 2026-03-03 15:01:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies exhoduswalletzx.godaddysites.com as a crypto drainer—a malicious site designed to steal cryptocurrency by draining victims' wallets. Such threats pose a significant danger given the irreversible nature of crypto transactions and the increasing value of digital assets.

The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, via GoDaddy.com, LLC. It has been flagged on three major security blocklists, with 14 out of 95 VirusTotal engines marking it as malicious. Although currently taken offline, the domain's presence on multiple blacklists highlights a coordinated effort to deceive users and compromise their wallets.

Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this domain or engaging with any links associated with it. Always verify URLs carefully and use trusted crypto wallet applications. Staying informed and cautious can prevent loss of funds and ensure digital asset safety.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       61abe018efbbbc5ff2f6dd4d23babe48
TLS cert SHA-256:      5dba801444d0fbaee3fa8cfdd83bf462dc5efc0955caa6d29b5431b89e28fa9b

## 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.
