## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      rp.io-md2x.info

## 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: 2026-03-03 15:04:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies rp.io-md2x.info as a high-risk phishing domain aimed at deceiving users into divulging sensitive information such as login credentials or financial data. Phishing attacks like this pose significant threats by potentially leading to identity theft, financial loss, or unauthorized access to personal accounts, emphasizing the critical need for user vigilance.

The domain rp.io-md2x.info was registered recently and has since been flagged by multiple security vendors and appears on several blocklists, indicating a consensus about its malicious intent. Although the domain is currently taken offline, historical data confirms it was actively used in phishing campaigns. The registration was done through a now-defunct registrar, which often correlates with suspicious or short-lived domains created specifically for fraudulent purposes.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with rp.io-md2x.info or any communications referencing this domain. Never provide personal, financial, or login information on suspicious websites, and ensure devices have up-to-date security software. If you suspect you have already engaged with this domain, immediately change affected passwords and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Staying informed and cautious is the best defense against phishing threats like rp.io-md2x.info.

## 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.
