## 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: 2026-06-22 23:04:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

melaniatrumpx.xyz is a phishing domain that has been taken down but was detected early in its lifecycle. Despite having 0 detections on VirusTotal, it was already flagged by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. This highlights the domain's freshness and the effectiveness of early detection systems, as it exploits the gap between registration and antivirus database updates.

The domain was registered through GMO Internet, Inc. and hosted on an IP address managed by Amazon.com, Inc. in the United States. It utilized an SSL certificate issued by GoDaddy.com, which may have lent it an air of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. The domain's platform risk score of 55 out of 100 and an abuse score of 22 out of 100 indicate a moderate level of threat.

Although the domain is now offline, its initial operation underscores the importance of monitoring newly registered domains, especially those with high-profile names like "Melania Trump." Such domains can be used in phishing campaigns to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Early detection and proactive blocklisting are crucial in mitigating the risks posed by these types of domains.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260620-11D8FC
TLS cert SHA-256:      3d262a10faf3ffd6eb00b07ab48b1196651f1f4c70fe3c5115f769a8907e9daa

## 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.
