## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-14 14:29:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-19 12:20:44 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 00:37:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:38:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies realmethereum.xyz as a domain engaging in Ethereum brand impersonation, a type of threat that targets users by mimicking a well-known brand, in this case, Ethereum, without any known drainer kit involvement. 
   
The domain realmethereum.xyz has a VirusTotal score of 3/95, indicating that a small fraction of security vendors have flagged it, and it was registered through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, resolving to the IP address 76.223.54.146, with a creation date of June 12, 2026, and is currently listed on 3 security blocklists. 

This domain was flagged and is currently offline, but the risk level remains elevated, so users should exercise caution, as the current status of being offline does not guarantee that it will not become active again, thus it is crucial to stay vigilant and monitor for any updates or changes, and users are advised to check the full report for the latest information on this domain and to take necessary precautions to protect themselves from potential threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ab2a756dec381edfc1a1b1d22f3bf61e10a257bf1adf33ee7591cd3b50a9008a

## 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.
