## 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: 2026-07-11 01:26:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain royaleace.bet has been classified under the generic_phishing threat type and holds an active operational status. No specific brand is indicated as impersonated in the available intelligence. Infrastructure analysis reveals continued resolution and accessibility despite detection signals.

Technical indicators documented include registration through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, and resolution to IP 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on April 29, 2026. Detection metrics show it flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. No additional blocklist counts or trust scores are recorded in the source data. Risk assessment places the resource at high severity due to the active status combined with the generic phishing classification.

Current status remains active with no observed takedown. Concrete recommendations include immediate network-level blocking of IP 188.114.96.3 and the domain royaleace.bet, continuous monitoring of associated name server activity, and user advisories against credential submission on any linked resources. Organizations should incorporate the registrar details into watchlists for similar registrations and conduct periodic rechecks of VirusTotal detection counts to track evolution.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260712-6180DA
Favicon MD5:       50679c0c5e3ed56d05c1d0ed312419a7

## 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 (operator 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.
