## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

Fingerprint: dedcb76a9f11cf008f0cd50bc9c90726a7640541143e52e6d974d74a21624fd0

## 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: 2025-05-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-27 21:30:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:45:09 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 08:20:45 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-28 18:26:06 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:49:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mail-coindesk.com as a domain that poses a significant credential theft threat to its visitors, as it attempts to deceive them into divulging sensitive information. 

 This domain was flagged due to its questionable registration through Tucows Domains Inc. on May 20, 2025, and its appearance on 3 security blocklists, with 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagging it as malicious, highlighting its dubious nature. 

 If users have visited this domain, they should exercise extreme caution and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as the presence of a GoDaddy.com SSL certificate may misleadingly suggest legitimacy, and the fact that it resolves to IP 52.223.13.41 and was found in 1 threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, underscores the need for vigilance and prompt action to protect their credentials.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fafaaae1a9f39c6d85756bb6f281a6a1
TLS cert SHA-256:      dedcb76a9f11cf008f0cd50bc9c90726a7640541143e52e6d974d74a21624fd0

## 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.
