VirusTotal:      3/95 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Fortinet
URLQuery:        2 detections
AlienVault OTX:  4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.197.254
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.
Nameservers:     ["mack.ns.cloudflare.com", "rosalyn.ns.cloudflare.com"]

HTTP response:   403

## 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: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-07 20:43:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-07 14:45:48 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-06-23 16:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 13:21:02 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:39:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies rapid-links.com as a celebrity s*xtape scam site, specifically targeting users with a generic_phishing threat type, and possibly leveraging a brand like Kylie Jenner to lure victims. This domain does not appear to be utilizing a known drainer kit, but its malicious intent is clear. 
   
   The technical indicators for rapid-links.com reveal a domain created on June 07, 2026, with a registrar of NameCheap, Inc., resolving to the IP address 172.67.197.254, and currently flagged by 1 security blocklist, while 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal mark it as malicious, giving it a VT score of 3/95, and it appears in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX.

   As of the last update, rapid-links.com is offline, indicating a response to its malicious activities, yet the risk level remains elevated due to its recent creation and the nature of the threat, which suggests that users should still exercise caution, especially since the domain's malicious intent was confirmed, and despite being taken down, similar threats could emerge, thus it is crucial to remain vigilant and monitor for such scams, with the unique seed of this incident being 247977, underscoring the need for constant awareness of online threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260607-60C053

## 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.
