## 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: 2026-07-06 15:00:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain maxbets-ro.com is identified as a generic phishing domain. It appears to be impersonating the MaxBet brand, a known online betting platform. No specific drainer kits or additional malware have been identified on this domain.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that maxbets-ro.com resolves to the IP address 209.74.82.247. The domain is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and was created on June 16, 2026. As of the latest scan, the domain has been flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is not currently listed in Google Safe Browsing (GSB) or other major blocklists, but the low detection count suggests a potential oversight in broader security monitoring.

The domain is still active, posing a significant risk to users who may be lured into providing sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. Immediate response actions include updating security blocklists, alerting users to avoid the site, and conducting further analysis to identify any additional malicious infrastructure. Despite the low detection count, the risk remains high due to the nature of the threat and the potential for rapid exploitation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6d748461c945937439ae02acedbb8e4e
TLS cert SHA-256:      425c2e050bc21f43e2d77c8c64532bf6c329ecbad1103ff906eb35d9c1af6ac6

## 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.
