## INFRASTRUCTURE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Expires:    2026-07-10
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: eb1043eec00f4e37e1164ba9ebf1206bf7e6b7447cb0b70ebcf81dc8f5f41dae

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 16:01:48 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-30 12:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:47:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 12:54:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies huobi.world as a generic phishing domain currently active and high-risk. The domain impersonates the Huobi brand to deceive users into revealing credentials or connecting crypto wallets, leading to asset theft.

Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3, uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1), and was registered through Spaceship. VirusTotal flags it as malicious by 15 of 95 security vendors. No specific blocklist count or trust scores are available, but the high vendor detection rate confirms its dangerous nature.

As the domain remains active, users should avoid visiting huobi.world or clicking any links from it. Organizations should block the domain and IP at network level. Users who may have interacted should change passwords and revoke wallet approvals immediately.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260608-30E262
Favicon MD5:       3252f0e051a56ae23677dcead5fbeace
TLS cert SHA-256:      eb1043eec00f4e37e1164ba9ebf1206bf7e6b7447cb0b70ebcf81dc8f5f41dae

## 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.
