## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:04:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

melaniatrump.io leverages the name of a well-known public figure to conduct phishing operations. This domain, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and hosted on an Amazon IP, was first flagged by PhishDestroy on June 20, 2026. Despite being taken down, it has already been listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal reports that 1 out of 95 vendors have marked this domain as malicious.

The site's use of a celebrity's name suggests a targeted approach to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, likely by impersonating a legitimate entity associated with the individual. The platform risk score of 63 out of 100 indicates a moderate threat level, while the abuse score of 28 out of 100 reflects some history of malicious activity.

The domain's SSL certificate, issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc., might have been used to lend an air of legitimacy to the site, potentially fooling users into believing they were interacting with a secure and authentic platform. Although the site is currently offline, its brief period of activity underscores the importance of rapid detection and response to emerging threats. PhishDestroy's early identification of this domain highlights the effectiveness of proactive monitoring in the fight against phishing schemes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fadb57f9ea13775f2140220fa8295e81
TLS cert SHA-256:      bef3c9e98c9878533a88eeac378abc4b81fe0343a855cfe915bed4e37aa62ef9

## 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.
