## 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: 2025-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-05-12 01:35:43 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-10 06:33:15 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:31:11 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-12 04:35:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies modultrading.org as a generic phishing domain targeting users with a fraudulent trading interface. The site mimics legitimate financial services to harvest credentials and initiate unauthorized transactions. No specific brand or drainer kit has been confirmed, but the domain’s recent creation and thematic focus suggest a hastily deployed scam kit designed to exploit trust in trading platforms.  

This domain was registered through Atak Domain Bilgi Teknolojileri A._. on April 22, 2025, and resolves to IP address 163.61.188.5. VirusTotal analysis shows detection by 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but concerning recognition. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate adds superficial legitimacy, while the domain’s inclusion in public blocklists remains unverified at this time.  

The domain remains active and poses an elevated risk to unwary users. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of modultrading.org and avoidance of any interaction. Users who may have engaged with the site are advised to revoke any shared credentials, monitor financial accounts, and report suspicious activity. While current detection is partial, the domain’s recent registration and low VT score indicate potential for rapid escalation—prompt action is essential to reduce exposure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260512-8FDB99
Favicon MD5:       65d29451cbbad0f2c8d381dbc94ab277
TLS cert SHA-256:      b5a11e1efbd70f6d98d38d7075875d7415e9e4df43aa700d9bb4dd8c2391bbcc

## 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.
