Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: Phantom

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      72.56.101.55 (NL, Amsterdam)
ASN:             ASAS210976 TWC-EU Timeweb, LLP, KZ

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     E8
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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:26:47 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:26:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 16:40:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies phantom-pay.online as a generic phishing domain, first registered on February 21, 2026. Classified as a low-risk threat, this domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate payment services. Its purpose was to harvest sensitive information through fraudulent tactics, posing potential risks to unalerted users.

Technical analysis reveals that phantom-pay.online was registered through a now-defunct dead domain registrar. It appeared on three separate security blocklists, indicating prior recognition by cybersecurity entities. VirusTotal analysis flagged the domain with 2 out of 95 security vendors identifying suspicious activity. These indicators reflect minimal but credible phishing infrastructure, suggesting limited reach or early-stage deployment.

Currently, phantom-pay.online is offline and no longer accessible, marking a successful takedown response. PhishDestroy advises continued caution against similar domains and recommends users verify URLs before interacting with payment-related sites. This incident underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence and swift action to mitigate phishing risks.

## 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.
