## 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: 2026-04-15 09:04:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies rugpull.one as an active cryptocurrency scam posing as a rugpull detection service. The domain is currently under investigation for generic phishing activity, specifically targeting investors with false claims of tracking fraudulent crypto projects. This fraudulent platform masquerades as a security resource while operating as a malicious entity designed to deceive users.  rugpull.one was registered through Dynadot Inc on March 18, 2026 and resolves to IP address 104.21.69.111. Despite using a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, the domain remains unflagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan. The site's page title, Rugpull Radar, suggests an authoritative monitoring tool, but its complete lack of detection on VirusTotal indicates either extreme stealth or a newly activated threat infrastructure. No blocklist entries or trust score reductions have been recorded at this time, leaving users with no external warnings.  The domain remains active and poses a significant risk to cryptocurrency users seeking legitimate fraud detection services. PhishDestroy strongly advises users to avoid rugpull.one entirely and verify any crypto-related security tools through established, third-party sources. Block the domain at the network level and report any interactions to your security provider. Exercise heightened caution with domains offering financial fraud detection without verifiable reputation or community validation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260415-A528C5
Favicon MD5:       cd270224f396607c46a85e4fda2a7d9b
TLS cert SHA-256:      5233908c6cdd6886dd311060c9654d21c4988b06b7bdeb0a3da7f3a601d5ad5e

## 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.
