Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - www.i-monero.com

## 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: 2026-04-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-30 17:45:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-30 14:46:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-06 21:11:28 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:33:16 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: 2026-04-30 17:47:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies i-monero.com as an active phishing domain targeting Monero wallet users through deceptive wallet login pages. The specific threat type is cryptocurrency wallet impersonation with credential harvesting intent. Risk level remains under investigation while technical analysis continues to confirm campaign scope and monetization methods.

This domain was flagged during a DNS reconnaissance sweep after resolving to IP 101.43.190.27, which shows zero detections on VirusTotal across all 95 security engines at time of analysis. Domain registration occurred on March 22, 2021 through DNSPod, Inc. using a TrustAsia Technologies SSL certificate, indicating potential attempt to establish false legitimacy. Current investigations show no inclusion on open-source or commercial blocklists, suggesting first-seen status in phishing repositories.

All cryptocurrency users should immediately avoid i-monero.com and verify wallet URLs through official Monero sources. Administrators should block the IP range 101.43.190.0/24 at network perimeter devices and update DNS sinkholes for this domain. Users who visited should clear browser cache, change wallet passwords through official channels, and scan devices for infostealer malware. Report transactions to Monero community forums if any cryptocurrency loss occurred.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260430-DF4E03
Favicon MD5:       66195c390ff1f1e82996082fa16e8393

## 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.
