Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - gitbook.io

## 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: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-21 21:33:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-23 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-22 00:16:44 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 22:59:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Exodussluginnus.gitbook.io is flagged by 4 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors as malicious, indicating its use in a phishing scam targeting Exodus users. The domain is also listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Although the domain is currently offline, its previous activity reflects a significant threat to those interacting with it.

The domain exploits the reputation of Exodus, a popular cryptocurrency wallet, to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. The use of Gitbook as a platform suggests an attempt to lend legitimacy to the phishing operation, potentially making it more convincing to unsuspecting users. The domain's registration through Cloudflare, Inc., and hosting on an IP address in the US underlines the infrastructure supporting this scam.

Despite its creation in 2014, the domain's malicious activity was first detected by PhishDestroy in June 2026, highlighting its recent pivot to phishing. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services further suggests an effort to appear legitimate. The platform risk score of 68/100 underscores the potential danger posed by this domain when it was active. This case exemplifies the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity, where even established domains can be repurposed for malicious intent.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       335579e1e21bb46f44f6c74093ffb201
TLS cert SHA-256:      98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074

## 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.
