## 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: 2026-06-22 23:06:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Moretown.xyz, a phishing domain, has been taken down after being flagged by 4 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. It was hosted on Amazon infrastructure, specifically IP 54.215.31.113 in the US. The domain was first detected by PhishDestroy in June 2026, indicating its recent activity before being shut down.

The domain was registered with Dynadot Inc and utilized Let's Encrypt for SSL certification, which is common among phishing sites due to its free and automated nature. Despite its short-lived operation, moretown.xyz managed to gain attention from multiple security vendors and was included in one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's.

The platform risk score for moretown.xyz was 56 out of 100, with an abuse score of 21 out of 100. These metrics suggest a moderate level of threat during its active period. The swift detection and subsequent takedown of the domain highlight the importance of timely threat intelligence in mitigating phishing risks. The domain's offline status underscores the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between security vendors and hosting providers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-CB664D
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71

## 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.
