## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      20.247.100.105 (HK, Hong Kong)
ASN:             ASAS8075 MICROSOFT-CORP-MSN-AS-BLOCK, US

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-18 23:56:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies imtaken.cc as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the Ethereum brand. This website mimics official blockchain wallet services to deceive users into trusting it. With a domain created recently and flagged by multiple security engines, it poses a significant threat to cryptocurrency holders.

This phishing scheme works by presenting a fake login or wallet interface titled "imToken official website｜Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchain wallet" to lure victims. Users attempting to access Ethereum wallet services may be tricked into submitting sensitive credentials or private keys, risking theft of digital assets. The domain resolves to an IP known for hosting malicious content and appears on security blocklists, highlighting its nefarious use.

If a user has visited imtaken.cc, it is critical to avoid entering any personal or wallet information. Change any compromised credentials immediately and monitor cryptocurrency accounts for unauthorized transactions. Employ trusted wallet providers directly through verified URLs and consider using phishing protection tools. Reporting this domain to security platforms like PhishDestroy can help protect others from falling victim to this scam.

## 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.
