## 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: 2026-06-13 12:05:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies hbuilderx.io as a domain involved in generic phishing, specifically credential theft, targeting users with no apparent brand impersonation or drainer kit. 

This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal score of 2/95, indicating a potential threat, and its registrar, IP, creation date, and GSB status are crucial in assessing the risk, with 2 security vendors out of 95 flagging it, the domain's IP and creation date are essential in understanding the scope of the threat.

The current status of hbuilderx.io is active, with a high risk level, and users are advised to exercise caution, as the remaining risk is significant, and response actions such as blocking the domain and avoiding interactions with it are necessary to ensure safety, given the 2/95 VT score and the domain's active status, users must remain vigilant to protect themselves from potential credential theft attacks

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       bbbd9896cda60d6d56c5ac64262ef5b7
TLS cert SHA-256:      0ed805b0c6bcd6d73b6698f009e8e263c62d5d09e2d64b8848893921389dcecb

## 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.
