Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: G-Data, Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Issuer:     E8
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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:23:44 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:41:07 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-01 12:17:49 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:37:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified majorstrending.io as a low-risk phishing domain created on February 21, 2026. Classified under generic phishing threats, it aimed to deceive users by masquerading as a legitimate entity to harvest sensitive information. Although the threat level is assessed as low, the domain’s presence on security blocklists highlights its malicious intent.

Technical analysis reveals that majorstrending.io was registered through a now-defunct domain registrar, which may have contributed to its swift takedown. The domain appeared on two separate security blocklists, while VirusTotal scans showed 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged it for suspicious activity. These indicators confirm the domain's involvement in phishing campaigns, though its infrastructure was not widely distributed or heavily trafficked.

Currently, majorstrending.io is offline and no longer reachable, reducing immediate risk to end users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of related domains and similar naming conventions to prevent future phishing attempts. Users and organizations should remain vigilant against impersonation tactics and report suspicious domains promptly.

## 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.
