  Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists
Victim re-reports (public form): 1

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      217.70.184.38 (FR, Paris)
ASN:             ASAS29169 GANDI-AS GANDI SAS, FR

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-03-03 02:40:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified hodl.community as an active phishing domain posing a medium-level risk to internet users. This site is designed to deceive visitors into divulging sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial data, which can lead to identity theft or financial loss. Users should be aware that this domain remains active and continues to pose a threat.

The phishing tactic employed by hodl.community typically involves mimicking legitimate community or cryptocurrency-related platforms to gain users' trust. By appearing authentic, the site entices visitors to enter private information. The domain resolves to IP 217.70.184.38 and is registered through GANDIFR-NET4, with presence on multiple security blocklists and flagged by several security vendors, confirming its malicious intent.

To stay safe, users should never interact with suspicious or unfamiliar domains like hodl.community. They should avoid clicking on unsolicited links, verify website URLs carefully, and use updated security software. Reporting such domains to cybersecurity platforms and blocking them through security tools can help prevent exposure. Staying informed and cautious remains the best defense against phishing threats.

## 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.
