## 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: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:40:14 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-21 22:01:54 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-16 21:44:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies recently-x.com as a generic phishing domain actively distributing fake login portals to harvest user credentials. The domain poses an immediate threat to individuals accessing the site, as it is designed to mimic real authentication pages. As of the latest intelligence, the domain remains in active status with no confirmed takedown or remediation efforts.  Recently-x.com was registered on April 09, 2026 through Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP 172.67.156.196. The domain utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and has evaded detection, remaining flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the analysis timestamp. This low detection rate, combined with the domain’s recent creation and lack of historical trust data, indicates a potentially emerging and rapidly evolving phishing campaign.  Security researchers and end users are advised to treat recently-x.com as a confirmed threat vector and avoid all interactions. The domain should be added to network blocklists and endpoint security solutions immediately. Users who may have entered credentials on this site are urged to change passwords systemically and enable multi-factor authentication on all affected accounts. Security teams should monitor for associated IP ranges and monitor for follow-on credential abuse attempts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       fdc62ba068158f80420381716edfe470
TLS cert SHA-256:      557ee258718905c426de834a7354f6bf81debb5875dcbef82d063559e65ad518

## 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.
