## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.70.14 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

Page title:      Linea Hub | Airdrop

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
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 02:21:24 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.network as a high-risk crypto drainer domain masquerading as Linea. Due to its aggressive tactics and targeted nature, this phishing threat poses significant danger to cryptocurrency holders, potentially draining assets through deceptive means. The domain's impersonation of a legitimate brand amplifies its risk level.

Extensive analysis reveals that lineahub.network utilized the Angel Drainer kit to facilitate its attacks. Registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, it appeared on eight security blocklists and was flagged by 11 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Google Safe Browsing labeled it for social engineering, and AlienVault OTX recorded it in one threat pulse. The domain resolved to IP 198.18.1.227 but has since been taken offline to prevent further harm.

To mitigate risks associated with such threats, users should avoid engaging with suspicious URLs, especially those impersonating trusted crypto brands like Linea. Employing robust endpoint protection, enabling browser security filters, and maintaining awareness of phishing tactics are critical defenses. Reporting suspicious domains promptly helps security communities respond swiftly and keep users safe.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       6e21162bc64073fe9e3d3d6375ca24d04fed1912a5b7716aac0cb0f2d16fae7c

## 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.
