## 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: 2026-07-15 03:48:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of ff-io.co indicates a phishing domain targeting users of the FixedFloat cryptocurrency exchange. The domain was registered on March 3, 2026, through Dynadot Inc and has since been flagged by multiple security sources. The page title, 'FixedFloat | Easy Crypto Exchange | ff io,' directly references the legitimate FixedFloat brand, suggesting an intent to deceive users into believing the site is the official exchange. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to IP address 130.12.180.128 prior to being taken offline. At the time of assessment, the domain appears on two security blocklists and is actively blocked by at least two browser-based security tools. Fourteen of ninety-five security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, though the specific payload or phishing kit in use remains unconfirmed. Defenders should treat this domain as a confirmed phishing threat, particularly for users of cryptocurrency services. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS or proxy level and monitor for any attempts to re-establish it under a new IP or registrar. Given the domain's current offline status, further forensic analysis may be limited, but historical resolution data and registrar details should be preserved for incident response purposes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260715-13628B
Favicon MD5:       75b2dd27f78393098895dd95e22d7237

## 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 (operator 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.
