## 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: 2026-06-18 16:40:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies grok37k.icu as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Google, and it is currently offline. 

This domain was flagged by 7 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a significant security risk, and it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolving to the IP address 188.114.97.3, created on June 02, 2026, and appears on 1 security blocklist, which further raises concerns about its legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Given its current offline status, it is crucial for users to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with grok37k.icu, as it may still pose a threat if it becomes active again, and they should prioritize verifying the authenticity of websites before entering sensitive information, especially when a website claims to be a well-known brand like Google, to protect themselves from potential brand impersonation threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a314da9f659a273c951c5a8b0ab4a46a
TLS cert SHA-256:      9ce9d595179a43bfc266e1df10dfff01f0153bab803e5054d4edd953fc10e003

## 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.
