## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-19 13:13:09 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:33:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies innovastasset.com as a medium-risk phishing domain masquerading as an online investment company named Innovast Asset Limited. The domain was created recently and is classified under generic phishing, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive financial information.

Technical indicators linked to innovastasset.com include its resolution to the IP address 102.209.117.141 and its presence on at least one security blocklist. VirusTotal scans have flagged this domain by 6 out of 95 security vendors, and Gridinsoft trust scores it very low at 0/100. These factors suggest suspicious infrastructure commonly associated with phishing operations.

Currently, innovastasset.com is taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, PhishDestroy advises caution and recommends avoiding any interaction with this domain or related communications. Users should report any suspicious messages claiming association with Innovast Asset Limited and maintain vigilance against phishing attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 6/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
