## 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: 2026-03-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-23 03:04:07 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:45:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies kucoin-sign-up.weebly.com as a high-risk domain posing a specific threat of brand impersonation, where attackers aim to steal sensitive information by mimicking the legitimate KuCoin platform. 

 This domain was flagged due to several alarming indicators, including being registered through Weebly on March 27, 2026, and currently resolving to the IP address 74.115.51.9, with 16 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagging it as malicious, and appearing on 1 security blocklist, which collectively underscore the severity of the threat. 

 Users who may have visited kucoin-sign-up.weebly.com should immediately take corrective measures to protect their accounts and personal data, considering the domain's history and the specific threat of brand impersonation it poses, and should monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, given that Google Safe Browsing has flagged this domain for phishing, and an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt / E8 was found, which could have been used to deceive victims into believing the site was secure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       478ce2729b246ad74806c51013233cda
TLS cert SHA-256:      5030d04ba7102135fff71e4de7c4b13a750ef5e1e8efa91f7ba49893b21d9e74

## 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.
