## 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: 2025-05-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2025-08-09 15:05:25 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-26 02:54:52 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:17:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies goldentrustinvestments.com as a medium-risk phishing domain masquerading as a blockchain-driven investment platform. The site’s page title, "Golden Trust Investments | Blockchain-driven Investment Options," indicates an attempt to lure victims interested in cryptocurrency and investment opportunities.

Technically, the domain was registered on May 10, 2025, through Upperlink Limited and resolved to IP 107.173.193.235. It appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, signaling suspicious activity consistent with phishing campaigns. The domain’s registration and hosting infrastructure align with common tactics used to establish fraudulent financial websites.

Currently, goldentrustinvestments.com is offline, reflecting a takedown or voluntary suspension following detection. This status reduces immediate risk to users, but the domain’s previous activity highlights the ongoing threat from phishing sites exploiting blockchain investment themes. Continued monitoring of related domains is recommended to prevent similar scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      5fcdb67f77f98cbf388382842d81b0d8bfd9a3629806a2b1eb6ff4e5124d66e9

## 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.
