## 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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-05-02 12:30:15 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-01 17:53:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies live-essoapp-user.wixstudio.com as an active crypto-drainer impersonating the Esso brand. This site is designed to trick visitors into connecting a cryptocurrency wallet under the false pretense of an exclusive rewards program or account verification process. Upon connection, the drainer silently approves token transfers and drains supported assets without further user interaction, a tactic commonly referred to as a “wallet drainer” attack.  This domain was flagged on 2024-05-14 and currently resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118. It was registered through Wix.com using the WixStudio platform and holds a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may give a false sense of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. Notably, VirusTotal shows 0 out of 95 security engines currently detecting this threat, highlighting the stealthy nature of this campaign.  If you visited this site or connected your wallet, immediately revoke any suspicious token approvals using tools like revoke.cash or your wallet’s built-in approval manager. Do not approve any additional transactions. Disconnect the wallet from any dApps and consider moving remaining funds to a fresh wallet. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for further analysis and share your wallet address with a trusted security team if funds were drained.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23
TLS cert SHA-256:      c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4

## 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.
