## 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: 2026-03-24 00:16:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies fidel-miners.online as a low-risk generic phishing domain. Though the threat level is low, phishing sites can steal sensitive data, making awareness essential.

This domain was created recently on July 10, 2025, registered via Global Domain Group LLC, and currently resolves to IP 198.12.66.123. It appears on a security blocklist and has a very low trust score of 1/100 from Scamadviser. VirusTotal shows only 2 out of 95 vendors flagging it. The domain is now taken offline.

Users should avoid visiting fidel-miners.online or providing any personal information to this domain. Maintain updated security tools and report suspicious sites promptly to prevent exposure to phishing attacks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       ee293ee68b239f20c5f70152a9020db242700f2cdf43228fbfbfa4b29b9784bd

## 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.
