## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.145.82 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
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: 2025-08-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2025-08-08 08:45:01 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-04-30 18:02:27 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:16:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies onyx-base.net as a medium-risk domain involved in crypto draining activities targeting generic cryptocurrency users. This website, which once impersonated the Onyx Protocol, posed a threat by attempting to steal digital assets through deceptive tactics. Although the domain is currently offline, it was found on multiple security blocklists and flagged by several antivirus engines, indicating a credible risk to unsuspecting users.

The phishing method employed by onyx-base.net involved the Angel Drainer kit, a known tool designed to covertly extract cryptocurrency funds from victims' wallets. The domain mimicked legitimate crypto services to lure users into submitting sensitive information or connecting their wallets, enabling attackers to drain funds without immediate detection. The site’s registration through TUCOWS, INC. and its resolution to a Cloudflare IP address further complicated easy identification, making it more convincing for users to trust.

To stay protected, users should avoid interacting with suspicious crypto-related domains, especially those with recent creation dates or flagged by security vendors. Employ strong wallet security practices, such as using hardware wallets and enabling two-factor authentication. Regularly monitor wallet activity and rely on reputable sources for crypto transactions. If you suspect exposure to such phishing attempts, immediately secure your accounts and report the incident to relevant cybersecurity authorities.

## 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.
