================================================================

Fetched:   2026-06-21 07:05:59 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/registration-gradient.network/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      7/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 5 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      172.67.140.110 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      403 Forbidden

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
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)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:19:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-02-26 23:19:31 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-21 08:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-12 12:25:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:40:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies registration-gradient.network as a medium-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users and steal sensitive information. Phishing threats like this can lead to financial loss, identity theft, and compromised accounts, making awareness critical for online safety.

This domain was created on February 21, 2026, and has since been taken offline. It appeared on seven security blocklists and was flagged by multiple threat intelligence sources, including AlienVault OTX. The domain was registered through a dead domain registrar, which is often associated with malicious activity. Its offline status reduces immediate risk but vigilance remains necessary.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with suspicious links or entering personal data on unfamiliar websites, especially those like registration-gradient.network flagged for phishing. Always verify URLs carefully, use updated security software, and consult trusted threat databases such as PhishDestroy to confirm domain safety before proceeding.

## 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.
