## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Tech Support Scam

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-06-19
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: e4c88edd4daf02e90c07844abf2ae51ff5c2e9f05f3f9cb09c27fc9ea634fa42
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - gitbook.io

## 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: 2026-04-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-10 16:43:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-21 23:03:00 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-21 22:02:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-10 16:44:45 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies help--eigennlayer--org.gitbook.io as an ACTIVE generic phishing domain currently under investigation for impersonating GitBook documentation hosting services. This threat exhibits low to moderate risk potential due to its recent deployment and unflagged status across most detection engines. The domain leverages Cloudflare’s infrastructure to obscure its origin while maintaining operational accessibility through Google Trust Services SSL certificates. Immediate vigilance is required as threat actors often weaponize legitimate-looking documentation platforms to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads.

This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 checks on VirusTotal, indicating it has evaded mainstream detection systems as of the latest analysis. Registered via Cloudflare, Inc., the domain resolves to IP address 172.64.147.209 and was created on March 30, 2014, suggesting either long-term compromise or deliberate obfuscation of its operational timeline. The absence of blocklist entries and neutral trust scores from SSL providers further complicates early-stage identification. Despite its age, the domain’s current activity aligns with emerging phishing campaigns targeting developers and technical users.

Mitigation requires immediate DNS blocking of 172.64.147.209 and domain filtering for help--eigennlayer--org.gitbook.io, prioritizing user awareness campaigns about GitBook impersonation tactics. Security teams should monitor for associated subdomains or similar patterns in Cloudflare-registered infrastructure, particularly those using Google Trust Services certificates. Organizations are advised to implement browser-based phishing detection rules targeting gitbook.io impersonators and to audit internal documentation links for redirection to external domains. Given the domain’s low detection rate, proactive threat hunting using IOCs from this report is critical to prevent credential harvesting or malware delivery through fake documentation portals.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a8dbb986416dee95722ccfc895e2a982
TLS cert SHA-256:      e4c88edd4daf02e90c07844abf2ae51ff5c2e9f05f3f9cb09c27fc9ea634fa42

## 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.
