## 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: 2026-03-03 15:39:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies nft-giftclaim18.vercel.app as a malicious crypto drainer domain designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. Crypto drainer campaigns pose significant risks by tricking victims into connecting their wallets or revealing private keys, resulting in irreversible asset loss. This domain’s activity highlights the growing threat of phishing targeting crypto users and the importance of vigilance when engaging with NFT or gift claim offers.

The domain nft-giftclaim18.vercel.app was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc and hosted on Vercel infrastructure. It has been flagged on four separate security blocklists and is currently offline, indicating possible takedown or suspension. VirusTotal analysis shows that 7 out of 95 antivirus vendors detected malicious activity linked to this domain. These details confirm the domain’s use in illicit crypto-draining campaigns leveraging legitimate hosting providers to evade detection.

Users are strongly advised to avoid accessing nft-giftclaim18.vercel.app or any associated links, especially those promising NFT gifts or crypto rewards. Never connect your cryptocurrency wallets or input private seed phrases on suspicious sites. Regularly update security software and monitor wallet activity for any unauthorized transactions. Immediate caution and awareness are critical to preventing losses from domains like nft-giftclaim18.vercel.app that exploit trust and crypto enthusiasm.

## 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.
