## 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: 2026-05-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-18 17:22:59 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 14:59:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, kinsu.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk crypto wallet drainer phishing site. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is specifically designed to target Web3 users by mimicking legitimate wallet connection interfaces, as evidenced by the page title 'Web3 Connect Demo.' The threat involves unauthorized transaction signing or private key extraction, leading to direct cryptocurrency asset theft from victims' wallets.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 28, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, an unusual future date suggesting potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. It currently resolves to IP address 172.67.208.109, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) infrastructure in the United States. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR1), a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to malicious sites.  Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter. Web3 users should revoke any connected wallet permissions granted to suspicious sites and monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to detect and prevent interactions with known crypto drainer domains. Security teams are advised to correlate this domain with other Web3-themed phishing infrastructure using the unique seed fe1acc for broader threat hunting.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-69C2F2
TLS cert SHA-256:      64dce18907348df6d5b7b1ccfc8d6f202d46971d8d6db6c4f3d4f8972feb0880

## 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.
