## 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: 2026-05-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-07-13 12:31:57 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 12:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-15 15:16:11 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 14:40:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

m17u.top used for generic phishing – block now

The domain m17u.top was registered on 13 May 2026 through NameMart Pte. Ltd. and is currently pointing to the IPv4 address 103.27.177.163. All four authoritative name servers (ns1.1111343.com, ns2.1111343.com, ns3.1111343.com, ns4.1111343.com) resolve to the same host, indicating a single‑point hosting arrangement. The domain is listed as active as of the report date (13 July 2026) and is classified as a generic_phishing infrastructure. No additional public artifacts such as page titles, brand references, or malware kit identifiers have been observed, leaving the exact phishing payload and targeted victims unknown. The recent creation date combined with immediate resolution to a dedicated IP suggests the domain was provisioned for a short‑lived campaign. Defenders should block or sinkhole the domain and its associated IP, monitor DNS queries for the listed name servers, and incorporate the indicator set into threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing observation is required to determine whether the infrastructure expands or is reused in future campaigns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260713-E2A9A2
TLS cert SHA-256:      afab63b835ae1f75a33fbde7ce0d2d31d6670afd9f3f87c527eb9addac55d32b

## 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 (operator 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.
