## 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: 2026-06-13 12:12:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies io-exchangetoken.icu as a high-risk domain due to brand impersonation, specifically targeting OKX. 

This domain was flagged with 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal reporting warnings, it resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, utilizing a Google Trust Services / WE1 SSL certificate, however the current status is still active. 

To mitigate the risks associated with brand impersonation, users are advised to verify the authenticity of websites before interacting with them, especially when dealing with financial services like OKX, and to be cautious of domains with low trust scores and multiple security vendor warnings, such as io-exchangetoken.icu with its 5/95 VT count, a unique seed of 648ecf has been assigned to track this domain

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260610-E191A2
TLS cert SHA-256:      049562742b856a48bfe29f637852615d7123fd3b6abfe6a0d54660982eb30ed3

## 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.
