## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-05 06:10:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies geno-pets.net as a medium-risk generic phishing domain impersonating Genopets, a popular move-to-earn NFT game. This deception aims to trick users into divulging sensitive information, potentially leading to financial loss and compromise of digital assets. Given the rising interest in blockchain gaming and NFTs, such phishing attacks pose significant threats to user security.

The domain geno-pets.net was registered on August 30, 2022, through Epik LLC. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.205.84 and remains active despite appearing on three separate security blocklists. The website's page title mimics the legitimate Genopets platform to lend credibility and lure unsuspecting victims. This infrastructure setup suggests a concerted effort to exploit NFT enthusiasts by masquerading as a trusted service.

Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with geno-pets.net or submitting any personal, login, or financial information on this site. Verify URLs carefully and rely on official sources when engaging with NFT projects. Employ security tools that block known phishing domains and report suspicious sites to help protect the broader community from similar scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       467fea9482ac83192a2b974bf584f3b4
TLS cert SHA-256:      16f695c87985343d20812cbe8432759ac80139025783c18af34ba1f73874d38a

## 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.
