## 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: 2026-03-24 00:55:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies maxibotpump.fun as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the Base brand. The domain is associated with a crypto trading bot page titled "Maxi Pump Volume Bot - Crypto Trading Bot," suggesting attempts to mislead users seeking legitimate Base services.

Supporting intelligence shows maxibotpump.fun was registered through Go Daddy, LLC on July 20, 2025. It resolves to IP address 216.198.79.1 and appears on one security blocklist. VirusTotal flags it by 1 of 95 security vendors, indicating minimal but present suspicion. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, reflecting very low trustworthiness for this domain.

Currently, maxibotpump.fun is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy advises users to avoid accessing or interacting with this domain, especially since it impersonates a trusted brand. Maintaining vigilance with unexpected crypto trading or bot-related offers helps prevent exposure to potential scams.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0f6f34fddc1956b116697f0ead09e5f0
TLS cert SHA-256:      bf563d1b526b91695c5e62c9a74b3955847e375d230f494741d3795f605c41ae

## 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.
