Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-03-03 02:16:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies linea-build.net as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain targeting users under the guise of the legitimate Linea brand. The site used the page title "Linea: The home network for the world" to lend credibility while deploying a malicious Angel Drainer kit aimed at siphoning cryptocurrency wallets. The domain's creation date was August 7, 2025, marking it as a relatively new but effective threat.

Technical analysis reveals that linea-build.net resolved to IP address 172.67.155.73 and was registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It impersonated the official Linea brand to deceive victims. The domain appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by three out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating emerging but notable detection. The usage of the Angel Drainer kit highlights its focus on crypto wallet exploitation.

Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk. However, users and organizations should remain alert to similar phishing attempts exploiting trusted brands in the crypto space. It is recommended to maintain updated threat intelligence feeds and educate users about verifying domain authenticity to prevent falling victim to crypto draining campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       9054a6d9b19b58e53b480bda74b0794a78ac8b0d683ccf66968d00311833b2cd

## 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.
