## 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: 2026-04-20 14:41:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Peotux.com has been flagged as an active crypto drainer domain designed to trick users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets under false pretenses. This domain mimics legitimate web3 interfaces to siphon digital assets during fraudulent transactions, posing an elevated risk to cryptocurrency users. Security researchers have observed this domain engaging in deceptive practices aimed at draining funds from unsuspecting victims.  This domain was flagged with 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors detecting it as malicious. It was registered on March 19, 2026, through GMO Internet, Inc., and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it an air of legitimacy to further deceive users. Given its recent creation and low detection rate, it represents a significant threat that has not yet been widely recognized by security tools.  Users who have interacted with this domain or visited the website should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions and transfer remaining assets to a secure, isolated address. Disconnect the device from the internet to prevent further unauthorized access. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and block it at the network level to protect other users. Always verify the authenticity of web3 platforms by cross-referencing URLs with official sources before connecting wallets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260420-567CD9
Favicon MD5:       c3d9e7ac8ad834ae3d129c8c7a595a4f
TLS cert SHA-256:      f6953f7f80e4484fd74ab44a0026d2343d38c0deb0de9759606fb255afe3f8f0

## 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.
