## 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: 2026-03-19 01:49:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mintingnow-opnsea23.vercel.app as a high-risk threat domain involved in crypto draining activities. This domain posed significant danger to users by attempting to illicitly access and drain cryptocurrency wallets, making it a critical concern for the crypto community and security professionals.

Supporting evidence includes its creation date on February 21, 2026, and its registration through Tucows Domains Inc. The domain resolved to IP address 216.198.79.131 and was flagged by 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, it appeared on seven distinct security blocklists, reinforcing its malicious reputation. Although the page title currently reads "Deployment Unavailable," indicating the site is offline, historical data confirms its active use in fraudulent crypto schemes.

To mitigate risks, users should avoid interacting with this domain and regularly update their security software to detect similar threats. PhishDestroy notes that mintingnow-opnsea23.vercel.app is currently offline, which limits immediate risk. However, vigilance remains essential as threat actors may deploy similar domains using the same tactics. Continuous monitoring and prompt reporting of suspicious crypto-related domains are recommended to protect digital assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
