## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-06 15:30:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-12 02:44:10 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:02:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies farm.gitcoin.io as a domain hosting generic phishing content, currently in an offline status, impersonating the brand gitcoin.io. 
   
This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a potential security risk, with its IP address resolving to 103.224.182.238, and it was created on May 06, 2026, also appearing on 3 security blocklists, which raises concerns about its legitimacy, considering its SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically the R10 certificate.

The domain's current offline status may be a result of swift action taken by security teams, but it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and exercise caution when encountering similar domains, as the threat of generic phishing still exists, and it is recommended to check the full report for detailed information and guidance on how to stay safe online, especially when interacting with domains that have been flagged by security vendors and appear on multiple blocklists.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c9969290d93dced25e7a0f6fadf98911
TLS cert SHA-256:      fee977ec67e5effda39411567dc667a32b939656a73a623a0ae2f5a6e38cee7f

## 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.
