## 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: 2026-06-23 12:07:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain io-500.com presents itself as the official website of "500彩票网" (500 Lottery Network), a well-known Chinese lottery platform, based on the page title "500彩票网官方网站 - 最新开奖信息查询." This indicates a likely impersonation or phishing site designed to deceive users seeking legitimate lottery information and potentially harvest credentials or financial data.

Technical evidence shows the site was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, specifically Gridinsoft, Seclookup, and SOCRadar. It is currently on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered on 2026-01-11 through NameMart Pte. Ltd., with the IP address 154.85.235.251 located in Hong Kong under AS134175 SH2206-AP. The SSL certificate used is R13. GridinSoft assigns a trust rating of 0 out of 100.

The site status is DOWN/OFFLINE, and the DOM risk score is 63, indicating a high-risk classification. Due to its offline status, the immediate threat is mitigated, but the site remains a potential vector for credential theft or malware distribution if reactivated.

## 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.
