## 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: 2026-06-18 16:38:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies rewards-onyx.xyz as a brand impersonation threat, specifically designed to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with Ledger, which could lead to financial loss or sensitive information theft. 
   
The domain was flagged due to various technical indicators, including being registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on June 13, 2026, and having an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, while 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged it as malicious, and it appears on 3 security blocklists. 

Users who may have visited rewards-onyx.xyz should immediately review their account activity and monitor their credit reports for any suspicious transactions, as this domain was found in 2 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX and resolves to the IP address 104.21.20.26, and take necessary precautions to secure their online presence

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6f6e918a63567dcc044fcc66038b0b6d
TLS cert SHA-256:      97b2391259a7420291e8d998444d79d4636c67fec6722f17bac5c292763aa9fe

## 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.
