## 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: 2026-06-23 15:59:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The site at r25update.live, titled "R25 | Real Assets Real Yields," impersonates the Polygon brand and is classified as an airdrop scam and wallet connect phishing threat. It poses a risk by attempting to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets, potentially leading to asset theft under the guise of a yield or airdrop offer.

Technical evidence shows VirusTotal flagged the site with 17 detections out of 95 vendors. The domain was created on 2026-01-26 and registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It is hosted on IP 104.21.39.110 in the US, assigned to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. SSL is issued by Let's Encrypt (E7). Nameservers are maciej.ns.cloudflare.com and sky.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently offline. With a GridinSoft trust score of 0 out of 100 and a DOM risk score of 25, the risk level is high based on confirmed phishing and impersonation activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       7da0b399c0b06df927bd894b0a7e6040
TLS cert SHA-256:      4cea01f643614404c0e0006a432d0f678f055978ddc02d9da26e611850bfc8ae

## 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.
