## 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 05:38:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mymonero.co as a medium-risk brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Apple. Although the page title suggested a Monero wallet, the domain was flagged for attempting to mislead users by exploiting Apple's brand reputation. Such impersonation campaigns matter because they can trick users into divulging sensitive information or falling victim to scams.

The domain mymonero.co was registered on October 5, 2025, through Tucows Domains Inc. It resolved to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3037::ac43:c245 and was listed on two security blocklists. VirusTotal scans showed 3 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain, while the Gridinsoft trust score rated it at 33 out of 100. The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate risk but users should remain vigilant against similar threats.

Users are advised to avoid visiting mymonero.co and to be cautious with any unsolicited links referencing Apple or Monero wallets. It is important to verify URLs carefully and use official brand websites or trusted sources when managing sensitive accounts or cryptocurrency wallets. Reporting suspicious domains and maintaining updated security software can further help protect against such brand impersonation phishing attempts.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       504e049379d6d21e0e1c6eed902f999d
TLS cert SHA-256:      acc47a9d00d7a4b0728594d1e897e598126e3767ecebe31badd628048aea110b

## 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.
