## 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:     2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-18 18:19:46 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:43:51 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-trezostarts.wixstudio.com has been identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Trezor, a cryptocurrency hardware wallet provider. Analysis indicates the domain was designed to deceive users into believing they were accessing an official Trezor setup portal, as evidenced by the page title 'Trézor.io/Start | Starting Up™ Your Device | Trezor®®,' which closely mimics legitimate branding. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was operational for malicious purposes.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and was flagged by 11 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread detection. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a common registrar for both legitimate and malicious domains. It appeared on five security blocklists, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, SEAL, and OISD, further confirming its malicious classification. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a frequently abused certificate authority in phishing campaigns due to its free and automated issuance process.  Current status confirms the domain has been taken offline, though similar impersonation attempts may persist. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources before interacting with any cryptocurrency-related portals. Organizations should monitor for domains utilizing similar naming conventions, such as misspellings or subdomain impersonations, and block known malicious IPs and domains at the network level. Cryptocurrency users should enable multi-factor authentication and use hardware-based security keys to mitigate credential theft risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1
TLS cert SHA-256:      c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4

## 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 (operator 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.
