## 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: 2026-06-15 19:44:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain hrdwr-trezor-help[.]gitbook[.]io is an active phishing site, posing a threat to users by impersonating the Trezor hardware wallet brand. It is currently active and was first detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-15. This domain puts users at risk of financial loss and sensitive information theft.

Risk Indicators
- The domain is impersonating the Trezor brand, a well-known hardware wallet provider
- The use of a gitbook.io subdomain may trick users into believing it is an official resource
- The domain's active status and recent detection indicate a high risk of ongoing phishing activity

Technical Details
- Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc
- Hosting IP: 172.64.147.209
- Domain created: 2014-03-30
- Page Title: Trezor Hardware Wallet | | Gitbook (official wallet) | web--us

Recommendations
- Avoid interacting with the hrdwr-trezor-help[.]gitbook[.]io domain and report any suspicious activity
- Verify the authenticity of Trezor-related resources through official channels
- Use caution when accessing gitbook.io subdomains, as they may be used for phishing purposes

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       1fd005289582b5afb89acb9dcee30858
TLS cert SHA-256:      98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074

## 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.
