## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      66.85.26.167 (US, Los Angeles)
ASN:             ASAS199959 CrownCloud GWY IT PTY LTD, AU
Hosting org:     AS199959 GWY IT PTY LTD
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     TRAEFIK DEFAULT CERT
Expires:    2027-03-14
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:44:33 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:56:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy recently identified monetaze.com as a generic phishing domain, classifying it as a low-risk threat. The domain, registered on February 21, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, exhibited phishing characteristics without targeting specific brands or services. Its classification stems from generic phishing tactics aimed at harvesting sensitive information from unsuspecting users.

Technical investigation revealed that monetaze.com resolved to the IP address 66.85.26.167. While only one out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain, it also appeared on one security blocklist, indicating minimal but credible suspicion. These indicators, combined with the domain's recent registration date and lack of widespread detection, suggest it was in the early stages of phishing activity or had limited reach.

As a result of the low-risk classification and prompt detection, monetaze.com has been taken offline, preventing further malicious activity. PhishDestroy advises users to remain vigilant when encountering unfamiliar domains and to report suspicious websites promptly. Continuous monitoring and swift response are essential in curbing emerging phishing threats like monetaze.com.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       41479e0e5908aa9b0bac1473b3c9d515
TLS cert SHA-256:      d237a3c1ab453fad4b0ea769f376c1f1671d4187fe09283cf5ef82e8a3a52a86

## 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.
