## 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: 2024-08-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-10 00:50:25 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-06 13:44:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies meta-auth-io.tem3.io as an active crypto drainer targeting cryptocurrency users by impersonating Meta's authentication portal.  This domain was flagged by high-confidence sources including MetaMask, Google Safe Browsing (classified under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING), and 14 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. The domain was registered on August 2, 2024, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, indicating an attempt to appear legitimate. The recent creation date and low VT detection ratio suggest this is a fast-evolving threat designed to bypass early-stage security filters.  If you visited this site, do not connect any cryptocurrency wallets or enter sensitive credentials. Disconnect your wallet immediately if already connected, revoke any unauthorized permissions via your wallet’s interface, and transfer remaining funds to a new wallet. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider using hardware wallets or transaction simulation tools for future safety. Stay alert for unauthorized transactions or unexpected fund movements over the next 24 hours.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0d3fb60340437536bbe06a463d19122c
TLS cert SHA-256:      942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180

## 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.
