## 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 02:27:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies lineahub.cloud as a medium-risk crypto drainer domain impersonating the Linea brand. The site presents itself with the page title "Linea: The home network for the world," attempting to deceive users by leveraging brand familiarity. Registered via HOSTINGER operations, UAB, this domain was created recently on July 30, 2025, suggesting a targeted campaign rather than a long-standing threat.

Technical indicators reveal the use of the Angel Drainer crypto stealing kit embedded within the site. The domain has been listed on four separate security blocklists and flagged by three security vendors on VirusTotal out of 95, underscoring its malicious nature. It resolves to IP address 104.21.36.84. These details confirm its design to illicitly drain cryptocurrency assets by exploiting unsuspecting victims through brand impersonation.

Currently, lineahub.cloud has been taken offline, effectively neutralizing the immediate threat it posed. PhishDestroy recommends users remain vigilant against similar phishing attempts that mimic trusted crypto platforms like Linea. Continued monitoring for resurrections or related domains is advised to prevent renewed attacks leveraging this brand’s identity.

## 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.
