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: 2026-03-19 01:43:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies midasbuy-update-rewatd.xuanbao.icu as a high-risk credential phishing domain designed to deceive PUBG Mobile players. The site masquerades as an official event page to harvest user login information. Users interacting with this domain risk compromising their gaming accounts and personal data.

The domain was registered recently on August 25, 2025, via Vantage of Convergence (Chengdu) Technology Co., Ltd. It resolved to IP address 45.207.204.6 and appeared on one security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis flagged the domain by 15 out of 95 security vendors, underscoring its malicious intent. The phishing page featured the title "PUBG MOBILE EVENT," a common lure to attract unsuspecting victims.

Currently, midasbuy-update-rewatd.xuanbao.icu has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users are advised to remain vigilant, avoid clicking suspicious links, and never submit credentials on unofficial sites. Implementing multi-factor authentication and regularly updating passwords further mitigates potential harm from similar threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       dec3e9f0190a504ed0c8f4a5e957c107206ba106cac4a1bbb6cbac6369a16d56

## 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.
