## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-28 17:30:09 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:       2026-05-17 02:35:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:15:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain go.cevi.tools, which presented itself as a URL shortener under the title 'Cevi-URL-Shortener', has been identified as a credential theft operation. This threat type specifically targets users by tricking them into entering login credentials on fraudulent pages. The domain is currently offline, but its previous activity posed a significant risk to unsuspecting visitors.

Investigation reveals that go.cevi.tools was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, with the domain appearing on one security blocklist. It was registered through Key-Systems, LLC and created on April 28, 2026, resolving to the IP address 45.131.252.114. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), which is commonly used by both legitimate and malicious sites. Despite the low blocklist count, the elevated risk level is justified by the nature of credential theft and the domain's recent creation.

Given that the domain is now offline, the immediate threat is neutralized. However, users should remain vigilant: never click on shortened URLs from unknown sources, and always verify the legitimacy of login pages before entering credentials. If you previously interacted with go.cevi.tools, change your passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication on affected accounts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       be44504940d2c612dd4b25c10c4a3638
TLS cert SHA-256:      0f483fd9a90283b5eba7ef22217fc7c012b97e361ca282a2fc07d3a9cef21645

## 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.
